I'm hoping someone can help me find a decock safety for a S&W 1st generation model 59 that was built in 1971 or there abouts. I also have a model 459 but the safeties won't interchange, (well actually it's my wife's, but she lets me use it). Smth & Wesson no longer have the part and Numrich didn't have it the last time I looked. The safety from the S&W model 39 1st generation is the same. The original safety broke right in half, I don't want to retire the gun because it still looks like new. I guess that was a flaw wirh these safety because the next generation the safety was redesigned. My 59 has been out of comission for at least 10 yrs now, I sure would like to put it back in service.
