Smith & Wesson model 39-2


This was my first pistol; purchased the moment I came of age. Mine was nickel plated and I used it on secutity runs with Audio Associates.

Wish I had kept it! The 39-2 was famous for being the first double action pistol to win wide acceptance (the German P-35 was first, used in late WWII and later formed the basis for Berreta and others)

Used until recently as a sidearm for the USAF and others.
