I have had a S&W Model 59 for about 25 years now. It was my first Pistol and I had had no previous experience. I have since purchased a Glock 22, XD Sub-compact in both the 9mm and 40.
I have found I dislike the fact that the Model 59 will not shoot if the magazine falls out. I can imagine that it was thought to be a safety feature.
I have thought about selling it and getting a Glock 17, but have had many second thoughts as this is a piece of History that I have. Do any of you have any experience with this handgun and should I keep it?
