A friend has offered them for sale.

I know squat about semis.

Great, good, ok,bad models?


Price (knowing him they will be VG to excellent condition)?

Auctions were already checked only one 39-2 available no 459s.

How are they compared to the modernized S&W M&P?
These choices are for carrying (some), shooting for competence and if need be for social interaction.

I gots wheel guns for real shootin!

S&W 39-2; I piad 350 for one recently. I wouldn't

pay any more that that for either. The 459 is a reliable enough but not as rugged as the M&P. At least one guy here has a 59 for a truck gun. I would venture a guess that 650700 for both is top money

S&W 39-2 and 459

I have a 59 that lives in the truck along with three loaded magazines. It is reliable and reasonable accurate. I bought it because it was cheap and came with a bunch if high capacity factory magazines.

That said, I don't believe I would choose a Smith and Wesson 9mm of that vintage as my primary carry gun. There are far more viable and modern designs available.

For the same reason....

....I use an XD 45 instead of a 4506 for carry purposes

For the same reason....

Guess I am back to my original quest and will look for a M&P Compact
