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.

Just sayin'.

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...

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.

Cheers,

Byron

MY 3913 HAS NEVER SEEN AN UNLOADED DAY

I switched the trade from the Model 66 to the model 39-2 (plus some cash) a couple of days ago. Polished the slide with some Flitz and elbow grease. Located some faux pearl grips for it, too.

Look forward to shooting it Saturday morning.

A complete and quite fine setup for any shootist, be they male or female. Especially for a loved one.

JEALOUS!!!!

Used to have a girlfriend who carried a Model 39. Back then I wouldn't dream of carrying a 9mm. Now I sure wish I had that one, the pistol not the girl, though they were both sweet at the time.
