Remembering The Classic S&W 3rd Gen Autos

[HardRock]

I grew up shooting all the ol s&w 2nd&,3rd gen autos, loved them all. Just added this one to my s&w collection. Mint Condition, Model 659, 9mm Doublestack.

Nice
I also am attracted to gen 3 SW SA pistols.
So far I have two
4516-2
4006

Enjoy both and good solid shooters.

The -2 is a metal clone to my shield 45. Amazing how close in size and feel they are.

Me too, was told this batch is from Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation. Super clean but need to lubricate those things, they are dry as a bone.

I have owned a few of the 2nd Generation SA pistols. Excellent pistols. Triggers are pretty decent for a factory pistol as well. And they are decently accurate. Seems the great deals did dry up some years ago on them though.

To ALL,

Personally, I would like to find another "plain Jane" S&W Model 639 to replace the one that was DESTROYED when my 1986 MB 420SEL burned-up in a garage fire.
(My MB burned down to the tires last Summer, along with the other 5 cars that were in the mechanic's garage.)

Grumps21,

NICE collection, IMO.

Personally, I would happily settle for buying a pair of 2nd/3rd generation S&W pistols.
(A compact 9mm single-stack for my sister of the heart & one full-size in .40S&W for me to EDC.)
Note: "The current plan" is to spend about 6 months a year in our place on the southern coast of Portugal & the other half on the farm in the Hill Country.
(,45 ACP & 9x19mm are ILLEGAL for civilians to possess in Portugal but .357 SIG, 9x23 mm, & .40 S&W are perfectly acceptable to carry concealed. - OC is strictly FORBIDDEN off of your own property.)
