Nickel-plated S&W 39
Folks,
Saw this after I had pretty much made a deal for the much-discussed Model 66. Va-va-voom! Minty.
So now I am thinking of adding some cash and trying to get it instead of the revolver. I have a bunch of .38s, but only one 9mm.
Thoughts? I know you have them.

and like you said you have other .38 variants. My question is...which one gives you the most heartburn to leave behind? There's your answer. For me, I would get the 39 for the reasons you mentioned.
Nickel-plated S&W 39, one of the GREATEST of all 9MM pistols
Had three, a '56 and a '65, , still have the 1971 issue gun which has never spent a day unloaded since then. MMC sights and all !!
Also have the 3904 and the 3906 version as well as their premier carry pistol, the 3913. As a matter of fact I wrote the FIRST artticle on the 3913 in a slickpaper gunmag. And the sumbiscuit will SHOOT !!!
And so it goes...
My wife's pistol...
Years ago I had a conversation with John Linebaugh at his shop in Maryville before he moved back to Cody.
The topic was what kind of pistol should I get for my wife.
His response was "how much do you love her?"
I could only answer "a lot".
She had kept it close for over 25 years.
