Smith and Wesson Model 59 Thoughts?

OH YEA! like that scene in Magnum Force. With the MC cop and the
4" nic Python!

Or Tommy Lee Jones in US Marshals
"Get yourself a Glock and loose that nickel-plated sissy pistol!"
Personally I'd rather have the nickel-plated sissy pistol

PM me the contact info I'll take a 659 at that price

Ditto. How many did they have available?

I bought a 59 shortly after they came out. It was a department order. $114.00 out the door. It served me well for a few years before switching to a 45ACP duty weapon. The 59 that I have was flawless and totally reliable and still is. I put a MMC rear sight on it and fired several hundred rounds (probably in the 1,000's) including many reloads. Some in that same shipment did have problems.
Ultimately the problems were corrected making the 59 a great pistol IMHO.
OP, You got a great deal on yours and it sounds like it is reliable.
You will be happy with it.
