Wow Ed... a S&W Model 39? One of my all-time favorite carry guns... Double-action, Lightweight, 9mm, and did you know that you can use the Model 39 magazines in a P-38? ... You can even do the reverse if you take the time to appropriately cut the mag catch notch...

I rode over to the mailbox on my 4 wheeler this morning and suddenly my heart hurt. I opened the box and out spilled a large pile of letters..Many from Members who have not even contacted me previously. All from those of you who care. Like many of you it is difficult for my emotions to get a reaction but this did it. That feeling in your eyes, throat and heart that is pure emotion. Thank you is so inadequate but I am hoping all who read this know the depth with which I express it.

I took a lunch break and went to the range about 3 miles away. Carbine w/ trommel mag did not work right - can't figure out how to load it... The S&W came to mind last night because I wanted to take it out. It did great. The S&W 39 was my first pistol that fired more than a .22 and I sold it years ago. Picked up one that was made about the same time period a while back, really like it. Feeds almost anything. Will try some P38 mags in her.

What part of the loading process is giving you grief?

Maybe not having a loader?

Jerry, I just sent a donation via PP! Would've done it sooner, had to wait for my paycheck to come in! :cheers:

Christopher, You are a Prince! Thank you so very much. Kind and generous of you to do that. I believe it will be put to good use..Should hear from GT today I would imagine.
Thanks to all..Thanks again Chris..Much appreciated.
