When the 639/539/659/559 were first introduced, they had oversize extractors, which S&W boasted were more reliable. I liked the design myself and was amazed when they switched back to the skinny extractors (similar to those used in the 39/59) without comment.
Did the new extractors have a problem? What was the story? Does anyone have any photos of the old guns?
