Introduced in the mid-80s, the Smith & Wesson Model 639 is essentially an upgraded version of the Model 39, which was initially used by military and law enforcement. After the Army abandoned its search for a new pistol, the Model 39 went on the civilian market in 1955 and was the first of Smith & Wesson's first generation semi-automatic pistols.

The original Model 39 is now known as a "first generation" design due to the number of similar designs that would be continuously developed into three generations of metal-frame semi-automatic pistols, which were produced until 2004. First generation models use a 2 digit model number, second generation use 3 digits, and third generation models use 4 digits. The second generation version of the Model 39 was known as the 439 and was released in 1980. The 639 was also released, which was a 439 made entirely of stainless steel. In 1989, the 439 was replaced by the third generation model, the 3904, which had its own stainless version, the 3906. The 3904 and 3906 were both discontinued in 1991 and more attention was given to higher capacity double stack models like the 5906. This marked the end of the Smith & Wesson Model 39 family and the entire third generation would later be discontinued in 1999 in favor of the cheaper Sigma line.
