Guns Listing ID: 545338
The Smith & Wesson Model 659 is a 9mm double/single-action (DA/SA) semi-automatic pistol produced during the 1980s (roughly 1982–1988). It evolved from the pioneering Model 59 as part of S\&W’s famous 2nd-generation “heavy metal" line
Key Specifications
Caliber:** 9×19 mm Parabellum
Action:** DA/SA recoil-operated semi-auto
Capacity:** 14-round staggered-stack magazine
Barrel:** 4 in (˜102 mm); overall length ˜7.4–7.5 in (˜191 mm)
* **Weight:** \~1.7 lb (˜0.8 kg) stainless-steel frame
* **Sights:** Fixed or rear adjustable; front ramp-type
* **Grip & Safety:** Black nylon grips; early models had left-side safety, later ones include ambidextrous safety/decocker
Performance & Use
* **Reliability:** Known for toughness and rock-solid performance. One user praised it as having “No hiccups ever, and I mean ever!"
* **Trigger:** DA trigger has some heft; SA is crisp, though overall polish can improve feel
* **Accuracy:** Appreciated for solid accuracy—often outperforming Glock 19 but slightly behind CZ 75/Hi-Power level ([The Firing Line][5])
* **Ergonomics:** Considered heavy and thick in the hand, with less concealability, making it better suited as a range or duty pistol
* **Aesthetics & Media:** Praised as a “gorgeous gun" with screen appearances in *Reservoir Dogs*, *Sneakers*, and *Alien Nation*
?? Heritage & Comparisons
* **Design Roots:** 659 follows the Model 59 and 459, updating the original with thicker frame, stainless finishes, ambidextrous safety, and improved sights
* **Successor:** The 5906 (produced 1989–1999) carried forward the heavy all-stainless concept and gained widespread law enforcement support
?? Ideal For
* Range shooting, historical collections, or those seeking a classic, full-metal 9mm with good ergonomics for larger hands.
* Great choice if you appreciate DA/SA triggers and manual safeties—a solid alternative to modern polymer striker-fired pistols.
?? Bottom Line
The Model 659 offers a robust DA/SA setup with a STAINLESS-STEEL build that‚s hard to beat for durability and nostalgia. It‚s dependable, accurate, and visually appealing, though a bit heavy for everyday carry. If you‚re into classic midsize duty pistols, it‚s a strong pick—just factor in the cost of magazines and possible refinements to trigger pull.
