Smith & Wesson Model 59 – 9mm – w/ Mags – Classic S&W M59 Semi!

This is a no reserve penny auction for a Smith & Wesson Model 59 semi-automatic pistol in 9mm. Serial number- A648879. This Model 59 is in good condition with a great bore and comes with (5) 10-round magazines and extra grip panels. The Smith & Wesson Model 59 is a double-action pistol produced from 1971 to 1982. It was developed by Smith & Wesson for the US Navy from the earlier Model 39 by adapting a 14-round capacity stagger-stack magazine. In early 1970, a dozen experimental all-stainless-steel prototypes were made and were issued to Navy SEAL commandos for evaluation in the field, but it was not adopted. The Model 59 then went on the market in 1971. It went out of production a decade later in 1982 when the improved second generation series was introduced (the Model 459). Please see the photos as there is minor finish wear consistent with age and use on this pistol.
