Acquired this classic Smith a few months ago. Nothing to write home about the double action, and overall grip width is a bit bigger than I like. It is still a iconic pistol of its days. Just something fun that is not a Polymer 9 or a 1911.
Though not as handsome as the Model 39, I have a no-dash Model 59 whose trigger reset runs circles around my Sig SRTs … even with modern HP rounds, I have never any issues with FTFs, FTE, etc..
Are those stock grips? They look much better than on my 39-2.
