In this article, some of the major problems with the 39-2 pistol have been discussed, alongside the solutions to those problems. Read the whole article to find out everything you need to know about the Smith & Wesson 39-2<\/strong> problems<\/strong> and solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Features and Specification of Smith and Wesson Governor:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most common problems that shooters are facing is the extraction issue in the Smith & Wesson 39-2 pistol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The possible cause might be that the anodizing on the rails have been removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Occasionally, the recoil spring guide rod was also almost completely sliced lengthwise, and the bluing and anodizing had peeled off, which is also responsible for the extractor problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Replacing the extractor and spring first is the traditional factory armorer remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Changing the extractor spring is rather simple. After stripping the barrel and sliding it from the frame, you push out the extractor pivot pin before removing the firing pin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Replace the coil spring, then assemble after removing the extractor. It would probably be a good idea to also replace the recoil spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ProMag locks in properly when inserted, even with some of it protruding. But if the slide is locked forward and the magazine tries to eject, it won’t come out. When the slide is locked back in, it immediately jumps out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the slide is closed, the magazine is wiggled out of the pistol by pushing it up into the chamber. Therefore, it appears that the mag cannot release easily because of the downward pressure it is under from touching the locked slide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Replace the ProMag. Original magazines that are specially designed for the Smith & Wesson 39-2 should be used. They work great in this gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The decocker doesn’t work well in this pistol. It is considered useless when a magazine is added, with or without ammo, after disengaging the slide without ammo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even after emptying the magazine and leaving a round in the chamber, it is still inoperable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There have also been instances where the decocker needs to be reset a number of times after the pistol has been cleared of ammunition and the magazine has been removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The issue can be resolved by replacing the old sear release lever with a new, suitable component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shooters face a takedown issue when the gun is up for cleaning. Retracted the slide and positioned the takedown pin in the slide’s slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pin can be released, but pulling the slide forward to release it from the frame is hard. After a small amount of movement, it locks up. When the takedown pin is reinstalled, it starts working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Evidently, the burr was preventing the slide from moving all the way forward. So, polish the burr out, which should fix the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the trigger does not operate properly, the trigger will not let the hammer go off even if the hammer cocks as it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Neither the double action nor the single action of the trigger will move the hammer. Once the slide is mounted to the frame, something doesn’t catch as it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To fix the problem, make sure your magazine and chamber are empty of ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Position the drawbar when the gun is fully assembled. Check that the levers were assembled correctly and try completely disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling the lower frame and its components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With 124 cast bullets, the 9mm is not accurate at all at 25 yards, it spreads by at least 5 inches. However, one group can be operating normally while the next is completely dispersed and acting free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It has the S&W rear elevation\/wind sight that is adjustable. No glaring holes in the slide, bushing, or barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your ammunition is to blame for your poor accuracy. Try to slug your barrel if you can because your bullets may be too small. I would advise working on your powder pack as the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even though the charge you are using could be sufficient to operate the slide, you might have a large velocity spread that is reducing accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Smith & Wesson 39-2 has a good set of factory sights, practical accuracy was satisfactory at around 25 yards. Even though the 9mm round isn’t particularly hard-kicking, it is nevertheless enjoyable to shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This has been\u00a0satisfying shooters<\/a>\u00a0with its long durability and accuracy. Although not terrible, the trigger is undoubtedly not the smoothest in double-action mode or the slickest in single-action mode. But it is a good gun to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Common](\"https:\/\/gunanalyst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Common-Smith-and-Wesson-39-2-Problems-and-Solutions-1024x536.webp\")
