Question S&W 459

I bought this S&W 459, paid 275.00 . Seems to be a good shooter and in good condition. Can anyone tell if it's a keeper?

I certainly wouldn't get rid of it for $275.

It has the firing pin safety so it will be a very safe and reliable pistol for you.

A 459 was my first S&W pistol, if yours is anything like what I had, it's a keeper. The only issue with them is the girth of the grip frame, if you can find a set of Uncle Mike's for it on eBay, those are slightly thinner than factory and feel great.
