$500.00

The Smith & Wesson Model 39-2 is a semi-automatic 9mm pistol that evolved from the original Model 39, which was first introduced in 1954. The Model 39 itself was designed in the post-World War II era as the first U.S.-designed double-action semi-automatic pistol intended for military use. While it was tested by the U.S. Army for potential adoption, the military ultimately chose to continue using the M1911.

The Model 39-2, an improved variant, was introduced in the late 1960s and produced until the early 1980s. It features an anodized aluminum alloy frame, a carbon steel slide, and a blued finish. The pistol has an 8-round single-stack magazine, contributing to its slim profile. The "dash 2" designation reflects internal design changes, notably an improved extractor for enhanced reliability.

The Model 39-2 was favored by some law enforcement agencies and became the basis for the later Smith & Wesson Model 59, which introduced a double-stack magazine. Its ergonomic grip, lightweight frame, and reliable performance have made it a notable piece in American handgun history.
