I have been told by many shooters that the S&W model 59 magazine (9mm) will function in a Ruger 9mm.  I plan to buy  a S&W model 59 and it would be nice to be able to use mags in both guns.

Cut for the magazine catch is in a different location. If they do work, you would need to mill/cut a new hole.



ETA: A lot of the early 59's were cantankerous. This was fixed by the late 59's and the 2nd gen 459/559/659 series. The 3rd Gen's were the best of the lot, and on the whole rather good pistols.
