Al Pachino in Serpico (Spelling?) movie is buying a S&W 59 after finding out his own cops (NYC) are trying to kill him. Pawn shop guys asks, "You fighting an army" referring to the hi cap mag. Al says no "Just a division"..always stuck with me for some reason and I bought and carried a 59 on duty for awhile. Just too big and blocky for me, small hands. Fine gun though and the 659 is even better. Sold it to a firefighter friend of mine who had been shot at on an aid call.
