Yesterday, I was in a local gunshop and the guy had a used S&W pistol that I have never seen before. I admit to not having payed much attention to Smith's autoloaders in the past. I have onwed several Smith revolvers and they're excellent. Their autos never exited me...until now.
What I handled was an early 9mm single stack pistol called the Model 39. This was a nickled version with nice wood grips. It was in immaculate shape.
Yeah, I know its low tech and single stack and not exciting to most, but the thing felt good in the hand and seemed well made. It looked like a decent size for concealed carry, too. Yes, it is bigger than some compact 9mms, but it is slim and the trigger pull was nice too.
The guy was asking 340 dollars for it in the original box, with an extra mag, owners manual and an old leather Safariland belt holster. The pistol was in VERY good condition.
Does anyone own one of these? Were these good Smith autos or ones to stay away from?
I know little about Smith autos, so any advice would be appreciated. I might pick the little thing up...it sure felt good in the hand.
Thanks,
