HELLO ALL:
I've been searching high and low for the perfect pistol grips and a really nice brown/reddish right handed holster for my S&W Model 59. I find really beautiful grips on Ebay from Thailand but I am afraid to send PayPal there for them because I have never delt with that country but the grips are awesome looking!! I have been hunting high and low within the USA and I do find beautiful faux Ivory and bone but I still think that if I hold off, I may just find the right set for my 9mm!! I found a really nice Aztec S&W set in gold and silver plated for nearly $700 but I don't have that much saved up and they will probably be gone by the time I do anyway( see picture). I really like swirl pearl, faux ivory with or w/o a fancy carving or maybe the right bone design.

I cannot believe how many I do find available for the Model 59 in this day and age, but this S&W M59 9mm is a personal keeper and has been in the family since new and purchased from my brother's store, and who has since passed away in 2007 while on his way to work while riding on his 2003 Harley anniversary edition >> motorcycle vs. a deer with a full rack, early in the morning around 6am!
I want my grips to really stand out. And finding a holster isn't easy at all! I see a few on Ebay but I don't believe that a holster that fits a Model 39(single stack and narrower) will fit a Model 59(wider) and I found a beautiful brown/red leather holster that stated M-39/M-59 and a 456, BUT, it looked like they had, had a 5906 in it at one time by the way the front finger guard shape of the leather looked.
Anyway, I figure either someone here has connections to good information or sourses that I can't seem to locate or they just may manufacture the grips or the holster them selves. I am right handed and want an OWB high ride w/ 'forward cant' if possible and maybe combat style (strapless) but a snap strap would work also in reddish brown to match the reddish gun belt I bought for my last holster for a different gun. Just looking for another holster to match my reddish gun belt. And with this part of the serial # can you give me an approx manufacture date( A3568) Thanks for any assistance you may provide and Happy Holidays to all!!!! The Wiz.
