Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 39 was created as a semi-automatic pistol for the United States Army in 1954. However, the Army ended its search for a new pistol, and in 1955, the Model 39 was released to the civilian market. This pistol was the first of Smith & Wesson's first-generation semi-automatic pistols. The Smith & Wesson Model 39 is considered the "first generation" design due to the number of similar designs continuously developed into three generations of metal-frame semi-automatic pistols, which were produced until 2004. First-generation models have 2-digit model numbers, second-generation models have 3 digits, and third-generation models have 4 digits.
In 1980, the second generation version of the Model 39 was introduced as the 439. The 639 was also released, a 439 made entirely of stainless steel. In 1989, the 439 was replaced by the third-generation model, the 3904, which had its stainless version, the 3906. However, the 3904 and 3906 were discontinued in 1991 to focus on higher capacity double stack models like the 5906. This marked the end of the Smith & Wesson Model 39 family, and the entire third generation was later discontinued in 1999 in favor of the cheaper Sigma line.
