About the Smith & Wesson Model 39-2: Introduced in 1971 as an improved version of the groundbreaking Model 39 — America's first commercially successful double-action 9mm semi-auto — the 39-2 addressed reliability concerns with a redesigned extractor, feed ramp, and magazine baseplate. Famously adopted by the Illinois State Police in 1967, the Model 39 series helped pioneer the shift from revolvers to semi-autos in American law enforcement. Discontinued in 1983, it remains a benchmark first-generation S&W autoloader for collectors and shooters alike.
