Because the judge said I can, that's why (with gun porn)

A district court judge has cleared me to own a pistol.

Naaah. I'm not in the system. His Honor is overseeing an estate and has yes/no authority over the selling price of an adequate little pest control device made by Smith and Wesson in the 80s. I petitioned for a 10 per cent reduction in the reasonable asking price, and a writ of acceptance was issued.

It's the minty stainless steel spawn of the Model 59 concept, and after inspecting it I conclude Dan Wesson's descendants learned something about making DA semi-autos (only) after issuing the 59.

Besides, it's in a more noble caliber. Besides again, the magazine holds just eight rounds, so maybe Senator Boxer will start returning my calls.

Very Cool. I traded a 39-2 for a 59 WRONG!
Very cool, and in the correct caliber!

Oh yeah. Correct calibers start with 4, and the subsequent digit must be greater than 4.

There's possible error in the post. As a single-stacker, it may be more correct to cite its ancient forebear as the 39 rather than 59.

I'm looking forward to learning to shoot it.

As a fellow wordsmith, semi-retired, it pains me to see such sloppy use of a superlative. There is no such thing as "more perfect". It's either perfect or it ain't. Maybe "nearly perfect" or "not even close", but not "more". JAGSC

As I fall on my sword, that should be "more correct". Still a superlative. JAGSC

And don't sweat the misread. Like you, I am approaching my mature years and understand that these things hoppin.
