New To Me S&W 539

[mk70ss]

Just picked this up from my FFL. S&W 539 9mm. All steel, adjustable sights, two factory mags...has some good, honest wear, but overall, a nice piece.

Nice score there mk70ss.

I bought one a few years ago, didn't like the DA/SA, and sold it to a guy who wanted it more than I did.
Beautiful gun, in factory nickel, and seemingly unfired.
I paid $600, which seems to be absolutely top dollar, but cheap for a rare piece.

...but overall, a nice piece.

I would say, "Overall, a VERY nice piece!" Good on ya, padnuh...let us know how it shoots. Rod

Enlightement is BLISS!

Welcome to those that ENJOY the 39 Series.
Suggest you add a Pachmyar grip to it , you like it.

Mec-gar has magazine available.

For spare parts, locate a extra firing pim and extractor.

The thing about the old S&Ws is that you couldn't make that for the price you could buy it these days.

What year was it made?

 

[mk70ss]

I believe it was made early 70’s, but have not confirmed.

The 539 was manufactured between 1980 and 1983. According to the Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson 8,159 were produced.

THANK YOU!

Congrats. I am a big fan of the 39 series. In fact, have a 39-2 on my hip as I type this.

Muzzleblast, who is the holster maker? That one on the right is the cat’s azz........

 

[jrothWA]

Those holsters are ..

available with retaining "thumb-break" straps and as IWB??`

Cost?

I carried a model 459 for awhile. Those 39 and 59 S&W pistols are friggen classics.

I never liked the SA trigger on them though (reminded me of pushing a button) but the DA on that first squeeze was decent.

That one looks quite nice and clean! Enjoy! Just remember you'll regret selling any of your guns in the future, lol.

 

[zoo]

I always thought those big honker sights sucked on the later models though.

 

[stormyone]

That is a sweet S&W!

 

[smee78]

That looks like a nice clean example, congrats on the fine addition, reminds me of the one I had in nickel. I have a S&W 639 with a set of stag grips, it is an old police gun that gets the easy life now. Hope it beings you years of happiness at the range.

mk70ss... I am the maker. Leather work is a hobby. In fact, I am wearing the one on the right with my 39-2 as I type.

 

[zoo]

Those are a couple of outstanding looking holsters too!

Really nice! I have had success finding parts at Numrich (or who they are these days)...
