Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 59 is a double-action pistol produced from 1972 to 1981. It was developed by Smith & Wesson from the earlier Smith & Wesson Model39 by adapting a 14-round capacity stagger-stack magazine. The Model 59 was designed for the U.S. Navy as a large-capacity version of the S&W Model 39, the basis of their Mark 22 "Mark 22 Hush Puppy" suppressed pistol. In 1965, the U.S. Navy commissioned a version of the S&W Model 39 that could take the 13-round magazine of the Browning Hi-Power. In early 1970, a dozen experimental all-stainless-steel prototypes were made and issued to Navy SEAL commandos for evaluation in the field, but it was not adopted. The Model 59 went on the market in 1972. It went out of production a decade later, in 1981, when the improved second-generation series was introduced (the Model 459). All total, approximately 231,841 M59s were produced.
