It has it's fans.
It was my first semi. Forty years ago. I did not like it at all.
I have a lot of pistols now and no 9mm, or double stack because of the 59. I know that's not the right way to do things, but that's it.
Traded it in and got a Colt series 70, and never looked back.
I have seven Smiths and they are all older revolvers.
