Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 659 is a full-size, second-generation semi-automatic pistol that represents a significant step forward in the evolution of American-made double-action handguns, building on the earlier Model 59 design. Introduced in the early 1980s, the Model 659 is chambered in 9×19mm and features a double-stack magazine with a capacity of approximately 14 rounds, giving it a notable advantage in firepower for its time. The pistol operates on a traditional double-action/single-action (DA/SA) system, with a slide-mounted safety/decocker that allows the user to safely lower the hammer and carry the firearm with a round in the chamber. Constructed entirely of stainless steel—both frame and slide—the 659 is known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, though this also contributes to its relatively substantial weight compared to later alloy- or polymer-framed designs. It typically features a 4-inch barrel, fixed three-dot sights, and wraparound grip panels that provide a secure hold, even during rapid fire. As part of Smith & Wesson’s second-generation series, the 659 incorporated improvements in reliability, feeding, and overall build quality compared to its predecessors, helping to solidify the company’s reputation in the semi-automatic pistol market during a time when many law enforcement agencies were transitioning away from revolvers. Its robust construction and dependable performance made it a popular choice for police departments and civilian shooters alike throughout the 1980s. Although it has since been surpassed by more modern designs, the Model 659 remains appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts for its solid all-steel construction, historical significance, and role in shaping the development of modern high-capacity service pistols in the United States.
