i have limited myself to obtaining firearms that a) don't need a stinkin "bullet button" and b) don't hold more than ten rounds as their original design intended. i know it sounds weird, but (maybe some kind of ocd thing) i can't handle owning a firearm in any kind of neutered state, it would just drive me nuts. that being said i've been looking into 9mm handguns. at first, i wanted a browning hi-power but then i found out how much they cost (and that they originally held more than ten rounds). so, i stumbled upon the smith and wesson model 39-2 - its a single stack! carries 8 rounds! also, they were given to seals in 'nam! i love seals! gonna try to pick me one up asap - anyone know how much they go for these days? they aren't made anymore right? if anybody out there wants to sell me one, let me know

the 39-2 is an excellent handgun. You won't regret picking one up. It shouldn't be too hard to find one in the bay area for a reasonable price. Mine is my favorite 9mm in the safe.It's too late, it's over. -
In the meantime, pick up it's 3rd gen ancestor if you can find one....the 3913...same capacity but a little sleaker design....
Here's a love fest thread on it from the Smith forum....
and check out a little history on the 39 mods that led to the 3913...

Love my 39-2.
I don't know where you will be able to find one in state and in good condition. Keep an eye on the for sale forum maybe. Good luck.Taiwan born, Chinese descent, red white and freaking blue America citizen.
