The Smith & Wesson 459 was the 2nd generation of the S&W 59 (which was a double stacked magazine version of the S&W 39). The only real difference between the 459 and the 59 was adjustable rear sights (and a slight modification to the front sight to accommodate the higher profile of the newer rear sights). It was only in production for 8 years, being again replaced by a later generation of S&W auto 9mm handguns, the 5900 series. | |||
