Possibly, I really do enjoy this M59, and I've got loads for it now that print 3"-4" groups at 27 yards so it's a shooter. The 659 would be stronger/tougher. We'll see. I've really been pondering an FNX 9mm when they come out. Never owned a polymer gun yet, I'd like to try one. I'll also pick up a good M39 when I see one. And of course S&W revolvers of just about any stripe, so long as they're pinned, can never have too many. I'm just an old fashioned dude with it comes to S&W. It was sad you see, but that fine old firm ceased when they deleted the pinned barreled revolvers and then sealed it by changing the profile. Good Lord, what were they thinking!
