59XX 15d magazine. The orange follower came along after the standard 14rd 59XX magazine was revised to hold 15rds, and the 15rd witness hole was added to the L/side of the mag tube.

FWIW, there were at least a couple revisions of the orange follower that I saw. These pics show some of the subtle differences.




There may have been more, but those are the only orange followers I have for the double stack 3rd gen 9 mags.

Definitely a 5906/5903 mag.

659 magazine had the old school metal floorplate held in by the square tab and a black plastic follower.

Will this mag work in a 659?

 

[Sevens]

It will work in a Marlin Camp Carbine.

Will this mag work in a 659?

Yes, fit/function is flawless. They will work in all S&W double stack 9mm’s. (1st, 2nd, and 3rd Gens.)

Will also fit & function in the 3566 Limited.

 

[Heymatt]

And also in a 4046TSW with a PC9 top end

Or a Kel-Tec Sub-2000 when set up with the S&W thingamajigs.

659 HOLDS 14 ROUNDS

659 HOLDS 14 ROUNDS

But it is the same mag right? Just a different follower. If you swap out to the modern follower, the 14 round mags hold 15.
