}}The exact date of the 39's introduction is unclear, but it came on the market just as [[World War II]] was breaking. Designed and built by Toronto-born Hubert Joseph Cooey at the [[H. W. Cooey Machine & Arms Company|family plant in Cobourg, Ontario]], the Cooey 39 has earned a reputation for simplicity, ultra-reliability and safety.  Even with a [[cartridge]] in the chamber, the gun must be manually cocked by pulling back the [[bolt]] knob, making [[accidental discharges]] all but impossible. And it's versatile, digesting short, long or long-rifle loads.

There are no accurate records of the number of Cooey 39s sold, but the number must be staggering. And, as a testament to durability, most are still in use today. To the probable annoyance of gun registration people, It has been stated that none of the Cooey 39s carries a maker's [[serial number]]. This is not true..
