Dispatch : The S&W model 39 mfg. was started in 1954, and the 39-2 was 1970-82 95% is at $325 the yr. of manu. on the one in question I cant help you with, good luck with the purchase if you do get it, I have owned one for over 30 yrs. myself JIM

There are a lot of 39-2s out there. They were used by a lot of police departments. As a result prices are generally pretty low. A really mint one could bring $350, and ones in the condition you describe regularly sell for $275. Not having seen the gun, but just going on your description, $250 is probably a good fair price, but not a super bargain. Since there are so many of them out there, there are bargains to be had. I picked up my 98-99% 39-2 for $195 just a couple of months ago.

dispatch 510,

That price seems very good for my area.

How many mags come with gun? Are mags equipped with metal or plastic followers?

It there a box.

A box will sell for $20 and up on eBay and the mags will hit $40 for one with a metal follower. The plastic followers will brig $15-20.

My point is that if you have 5 mags included and original box this is a STEAL. If it is gun only with one mag and it has a plastic follower...you get my point.

When I get back home I will post the birthday of gun for you.

Fred

can someone pls tell me how or were to find out how to disassemble a 39-2 sw thanks Terry

Terry,

By disassemble do you mean field strip to clean or to tear completely down?

If you want to field strip it is fairly easy, and S&W will send you a manual if you ask them.

If you want to do a complete tear down I can recommend a book. In fact this book will tell you both, it covers hundreds of semi auto pistols. I used it last night to tear down a 4013 tactical.

Let me know if you need advice to field strip or the name of the book to detail strip.

Fred
