Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson M390J is an extremely uncommon and somewhat obscure variation within Smith & Wesson’s third-generation 3900-series pistols, a family of single-stack 9×19mm semi-automatic handguns introduced during the late 1980s and 1990s as part of the company’s push toward modern duty pistols with improved ergonomics, safety systems, and durable alloy frames. Like its relatives, the M390J follows the classic third-generation S&W layout: a lightweight aluminum alloy frame paired with a steel slide, a traditional double-action/single-action trigger system, an ambidextrous slide-mounted safety/decocker, and a slim single-column magazine that typically holds around eight rounds, making it compact, concealable, and comfortable in the hand compared to thicker double-stack designs. The “J” suffix is widely understood to denote a special contract or export variant—most often associated with Japanese law-enforcement procurement—reflecting Japan’s strict firearms environment, where only highly vetted police units are permitted sidearms and historically favored compact, safe, and non-intimidating service weapons. As such, the M390J emphasized reliability, manageable recoil, and a conservative safety profile rather than high capacity or tactical features; its fixed sights, relatively smooth lines, and modest dimensions made it practical for uniformed or plainclothes duty. Mechanically, it retained the hallmark features that gave the 3900 series its strong reputation: a robust feed system capable of handling varied ammunition, a durable locking system derived from earlier S&W autos, and a consistent trigger transition from long double-action first shot to lighter single-action follow-ups. Today, surviving examples are rarely encountered outside collector circles, where they are valued both for their scarcity and for their niche historical connection to overseas police contracts, representing an interesting chapter in Smith & Wesson’s global influence during the late 20th-century era of metal-framed service pistols.
