Added a 459 to my 2nd Gens.

Found an almost immaculate 459 this weekend, I prefer the single stack pistols but just couldn't make myself pass this one up. Pretty much the only flaw is the back strap either needs to be replaced or re-anodized, my guess is the previous owner put it up without wiping it down well enough. My preference would be to replace it with the arched version, if I can locate one.

It looks like a winner! BTW member BigBoss3006 has the arched backstraps in the For Sale section in ad dated 1/19/2024

Nice!
I was going through the safe last night (to help answer a question on the forum), 'what's this box?'
It's a LNIB 459 in box with docs and a second mag! LOL, I knew I had a 559 in there somewhere, but had forgotten (??) about the 459.

I do have a few left. On my own personal gun, i am still undecided if i prefer the straight or arched backstrap, but its nice to have the option for sure

I'll probably take one off your hands Boss, once I make up my mind. I'm partial to the grip profiles on my 39 & 52/952 series Smiths and my P220 sigs which are also very similar in feel.
