Smith & Wesson Model 59 Magazine

Model 59 Pattern Magazine

This is a 15-round 9mm replacement magazine made by United Defense for Smith & Wesson 59-series pistols. Factory magazines for these older double-stack pistols are getting harder to find, and this one gives Model 59, 459 and 5906 owners a stainless option for spares, range use or a carry rotation. It also fits the Marlin Camp 9 carbine, which was built around the same magazine.

Features

• 15-Round Double-Stack Capacity — Cartridges sit in two staggered columns inside the tube, which is how the 59-series fits 15 rounds of 9x19mm into a pistol grip.
• Heat-Treated Stainless Steel Tube — The stainless body resists rust, and heat treating hardens it so the feed lips, the curled edges at the top that hold rounds in place, keep their shape.
• High-Visibility Orange Follower — The follower is the platform the spring pushes up under the rounds, and its bright orange color makes an empty magazine obvious at a glance.
• Chrome-Silicon Spring — The coil spring is wound from chrome-silicon steel, an alloy chosen for resisting fatigue when a magazine is kept loaded.
• Numbered Witness Holes — Holes down both sides are marked 4 through 15, so you can check how many rounds are loaded without emptying the magazine.
• Polymer Base Plate — A black polymer floorplate closes the bottom of the tube and gives a firm surface to seat the magazine with your palm.
• S&W 59-Series Fit — Made to work in the Smith & Wesson Model 59, Model 459 and Model 5906 pistols.
• Marlin Camp 9 Compatible — The same magazine fits the Marlin Camp 9 carbine, so one set of spares can cover both guns.
• Ball and Hollow-Point Feeding — Built to feed both standard full metal jacket ball and hollow-point defensive loads.

Fit and Construction

United Defense makes this as an aftermarket, universal-fit magazine for the 59 pattern. It is not a Smith & Wesson factory part. The tube is heat-treated stainless steel with a polished finish, paired with a chrome-silicon spring, an orange polymer follower and a black polymer base plate. If your pistol or carbine takes the S&W 59-series double-stack 9mm magazine, this is a direct replacement.
