Designed as a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) pistol, the Model 659 offers flexibility and security with its 14-round double-stack magazine, a generous capacity for its size. This makes it well-suited for law enforcement and self-defense applications. The black checkered synthetic grips provide a secure and comfortable hold, ensuring that the shooter maintains full control even during rapid fire. The pistol features a 260-inch serrated hammer and a 365-inch smooth trigger, offering smooth and consistent operation. Notably, the Model 659 was offered with either a fixed or adjustable rear sight, allowing users to select the configuration that best suits their needs. The gun also came with the option of an ambidextrous safety, catering to both left- and right-handed shooters, further enhancing its adaptability. With a weight of 40 ounces, the all-steel construction provides a solid feel and excellent recoil management, though it is a bit heavier than some of its alloy-frame counterparts.
The Model 659 was a key part of Smith & Wesson's evolution in the second-generation series of semi-automatics and was produced in a limited run of approximately 10,000 units. It is often considered a precursor to the Model 5906, which succeeded it and incorporated several design refinements. With a serial prefix beginning at A782,700, the Model 659 remains a significant piece in S&W's history, especially due to its stainless steel construction and unique features, such as the availability of a 20-round magazine and its distinctive rounded or squared trigger guard depending on the production run. Its combination of durability, accuracy, and magazine capacity has made it a popular model among collectors and enthusiasts, particularly in the transitional period between the Model 659 and the newer Model 5906.
