My 39-2. Carried by a LEO in the 1970s.
Can anyone explain the blued slide/stainless frame combo?
Someone suggested it was a LEO model, but I haven't found anything about it.

>>28649041

preparing for a project in the future once i move, yes

>>28649056

fucking gorgeous.

could you pull it out and take a pic of the inside of the frame with the slide off?

>>28649067
Thanks, wish I could but I don't have it right now. But I'll check go my photos and see if I have any that could help you out.

>>28649094

really appreciate it

I especially love guns with a history... carried by LEO, soldier art, etc.

>>28649108
That's part of the reason I got it. Guns with history are the best. Only gun I will never sell.
Still considering dropping the $50 for the serial number history report from Smith & Wesson.

Don't seem to have any pics of what you're looking for, but here's some from google.

>>28649285

I really appreciate you helping me look

I'm looking for a pic of the inside of the frame from the top, where the barrel slides into the frame.

Yeah thanks, the problem is i haven't found one that wasn't filmed on VHS in 1980, they're all 240p, can't see shit

Why aren't these more popular?

I don't know much about them, but what are some sellinh points of this design?

>>28655299
>1st semiauto DA pistol in the US
>used by police forces
>used by Navy SEALS
A lot of the selling point is the history, but the design is excellent as well.
They're just great guns all around. Mine is almost 50 years old and shoots like a dream.

Im feeling nice, lettme try my god teir googlefu.

I found one. Pic upcoming.

It was quite challenge.

Im still looking for more just for hell of it.

A large part of why I want a 59 is to see how feasible it would be to make a hush puppy clone.

>>28660726
where would you even buy those giganto sights at?

>>28660955
A lot of it would probably have to be fabricated. That stock would be impossible to find as well

>>28660972
every time I get an idea to recreate a MGS firearm I get shut down realizing I have to talk to the mouth breather retard fudds in virginia in order to get any customization done.

be me in kinda large LGS:

>"hey do you guys do any gunsmithing?"
>"no..."
>"oh ok, do you know anyone in the area that does any gunsmithing?"
>"yea, our udder store, about that way"
>"where?"
>*smacks lips* "hop on I95 and drive about 97 miles north"

sometimes I cant believe this state claims to be from the south, they hate trucks, hard labor and firearms

Decided against buying one last year for $299. A 39-2. Regret it to this day.

My 59. Another LEO trade in, the wraparounds came with the gun. Lots of holster and use wear. I'm sure the last owner had more than a few good stories.

in the 70's, so-called "pinto" finished guns were in vogue. Smith & Wesson had the option of having it one at the factory and some gunsmiths would nickle plate barrels and cylinders to give the same effect. Your gun might be a factory job and S&W might have records of the work. If not, it may have been done by a gunsmith. A third option is that the original owner might have had issues with galling, as many early stainless pistols did. To remedy this, he may have mixed and matched a blued slide onto his stainless frame

My grandfather was a cop in illinois in the early to mid 1970's. He carried a model 59, same gun as the model 39 but with double stack mag, for a while as well as a Model 10 revolver.

>>28661131
haha holy fucking god people actually drink that pirate swill, me and my room mate in the marines took turns downing a bottle of sailor jerry and all I remembered was banging on other peoples doors until someone opened and then I puked in their toilet, went back to my room and my room mate was passed out on top of my pizza yet under my bed.

>>28661050
How much are these going for these days? Assuming a prime 39-2 unfired from the 70's. A200XXX number.

>>28665629
About $700-$800

>>28663128
Thanks for the info. Really might have to get that S&W history report after all.

>>28665985
God damn really? Thought my old man got swindled for his but I guess he didn't do too bad.
