Smith & Wesson Model 39-2 Semi Auto Pistol in 9mm **Minty - 1st Gen Semi Auto**
Description: For consideration is a very nice Smith & Wesson Model 39-2 semi auto pistol chambered in 9mm. The Smith & Wesson Model 39 is a semi-automatic pistol developed for the United States Army service pistol trials of 1954. After the Army abandoned its search for a new pistol, the Model 39 went on the civilian market in 1955 and was the first of Smith & Wesson's first generation semi-automatic pistols. During World War II, the German Walther P38 double action/single action pistol impressed American ordnance personnel so much that the Army Ordnance Corps issued a proposal for an American equivalent to the P38. In 1949, Smith & Wesson began development of the Model 39 chambered in 9×19mm Luger and it entered the market in 1955. It was the first U.S. designed double action (DA) semi-automatic pistol, and was designed to replace the venerable M1911A1. The 1911 was still extremely popular with law enforcement, military and civilian use, but only offered a single action trigger and a heavy steel frame. This particular pistol is in outstanding mechanical and physical condition exhibiting very slight handling and use marks. The checkered walnut grips are free of cracks or chips and S&W medallions grace each side. This fine Smith & Wesson 39 would make an outstanding addition as it represents Smith's first foray into semi auto pistols. One magazine comes with the pistol.
