Smith & Wesson 59

Just noted some differences - I'm pretty sure all of these are Smith & Wesson 59s. -SeptemberJack (talk) 20:09, 27 September 2017 (EDT)

Smith & Wesson 59 - 9x19mm. The Model 39 has no frame step.

The frame step can be seen here, in the same place as the 59. Also note flat backstrap.

Smith & Wesson 59, nickel plated - 9x19mm

The frame step matches in the same place as a nickel S&W 59, not to mention the same sights (not adjustable).

Note the frame step here. This is a Model 59, with pearl grips.

Thanks a lot! I'll fix this entry. Greg-Z (talk) 00:40, 28 September 2017 (EDT)

Other IDs

The stainless snub nose looks a bit off for a Model 60, doesn't seem to have a flat end to the shrouded lug as S&W revolvers do. Also might have a symmetrical - that is 6-round - cylinder. In which case this is more likely a 3rd Gen Colt Detective Special. The N-frame also looks a bit small making me think this is a smaller piece. Also - and this is I guess a trivia note as much as IDs, several screenshots show they reused footage from Colors - Specifically the ones with the first and second un-ID'd shotguns (Of which I believe both are pistol-gripped Remington 870s - the second most definitely) and Beretta (oh yeah, pistols a Beretta) - the revolver in the background in that image is a Python, BTW, as well as the third Micro Uzi shot. In which case, you could perhaps use some of the images from the Colors page, as they are better grabs. StanTheMan (talk) 01:17, 28 September 2017 (EDT)
