Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 39-2 is a classic and historically significant 9mm semi-automatic pistol that traces its origins to the early 1950s, when Smith & Wesson developed the original Model 39 for the United States Army's service pistol trials. Although the Army ultimately chose a different handgun, the Model 39 found a place in the civilian market in 1955, becoming the first of Smith & Wesson's first-generation semi-automatic pistols. The Model 39-2, introduced in the early 1970s, is a refined version of the original, featuring improved components and increased reliability. This model is easily recognizable by its blue finish and 4-inch barrel, making it a well-balanced, versatile handgun for its time. The Model 39-2 is equipped with a serrated ramp front sight and an adjustable rear sight, allowing for precise aiming and accuracy. The checkered wood grips are inlaid with the classic Smith & Wesson medallions, adding a touch of elegance to the pistol’s overall appearance. The double/single-action (DA/SA) mechanism provides a smooth first shot in double-action followed by a light single-action trigger pull for subsequent shots, offering shooters the flexibility they need in various scenarios. The Model 39-2 is not just a collectible piece but also a practical firearm, and its historical significance—especially in relation to its limited military use during the Vietnam War, where it was adapted into the Mk 22 Mod 0 "hush puppy" for Navy SEALs—adds to its allure among firearms enthusiasts.
