Default Blow up of a S&W 59

Hello, I am Looking for a blow up diagram of a S&W 59. I have purchased a like new S&W 59 and like most of my guns I like to shoot them. Only problem is some of the springs need to be replaced. Ejection is poor, recoil a little hard etc. (yes I have checked the ejector)
I have ordered all new springs from Wolff and will replace the springs when they get here. now to where I need help, the model 59 is a little different than the gen 2 or 3 guns. They are close but not the same. Places like Numrich have blow up's of the 459, 5903, 5906 etc. (they show a blow up of the 59 but it's not).

I have a collection of 2nd and 3rd gen 59's. I shoot and take the guns down, from time to time, to clean, check and if need to repair them. I always like to have a blow up diagram of a gun I am going to take apart (just in case).

Since S&W no longer deals with 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen 39 and 59 guns anyone know where I can acquire such an item?




I have a

OK, so you are looking for an exploded diagram of the M59
I opened this thread expecting to see one that had been ruined by a double-charged handload or a squib.

You can buy an exploded diagram with parts list here for $1.50 plus shipping (hopefully postage).

Correct me if I am wrong, but the -2 change was the only significant difference with the addition of the FPS?

I’ve been “taken in” twice by this title... somebody asked something similar a while back and I got all excited about it. I forgot I had read it when previously posted. I’ve been in on a couple of durability discussions, so of course I had to find out about an “instantaneous explosive disassembly!“. Oddly enough, the “proper” term, “exploded” view sounds just about as bad!

Okay, who else thought this thread was going to be about a catastrophic failure (i.e. KABOOM) of a 5906?
