The Devel 59 looks like a pretty nice gun, I'd take it over the 39 for the added firepower. My mom has a Smith & Wesson Model 39 with pearl grips. It shoots great, but I'm not a fan of the magazine safety (when the magazine is removed, the trigger will not allow the hammer to drop).

I always think of action movies. What if the magazine gets knocked out in a hand-to-hand battle and all you have is one in the pipe? Improbable preparanoia, as per my norm.
It's still a flawed design though, probably the only pistol inovation Browning thought up that I don't like. If I ever get a High-Power (I think that was the first pistol he designed with that function), I either want one that doesn't have that safety, or has it deactivated. According to wikipedia: Quote:
EDIT: Looked it up, the French military added to it's list of requirements for a new pistol "a magazine disconnect device". Since Browning died in 1926, his design was modified by gunsmiths like Dieudonné Saive (who invented the stagger double-column magazine). Not sure if it was him who added the magazine safety in the end, although Browning designed it to meet all the standards so it's not clear.

Sorry, but I've been reading the Browning Hi-Power wiki to brush up on them a little (I know the risks) and came across this interesting tidbit.

That flinching you see is because of the 8lb trigger pull.

prefere hammer cocked, safety on, i dont want the gun doing it for me like that system, seems like an answer searching for problems. And im not thinking of action movies, im thinking of mags failing to seat properly or a bent feed lip preventing you from using it.
