Keep in mind that the 59xx guns, at least some of them had TSW series later on in production. Those were the tactical guns with rails fitted to them among other improvements.
CHP used the 4006TSW until about five or six years ago. NYPD had at least some 39xxTSW guns as well.
As a general rule TSW guns with rails were made from 200-2006, although with S:&W there is no hard and fast rule when it comes to production. A large enough agency could order guns built to their specifications even after regular production ended.

Thank you. I guess the only way to know for sure about my pistol is a factory letter, but I'm not curious enough to spend the money.
Thank you!
