Description:
This is a consignment gun, but quite rare and desirable. Gun only, no box or paperwork.Please see the high quality photos and ask questions before buying. Here is the history from a source that appears to be reliable.
Have you ever seen a 9mm revolver that didn't use moon clips? Now you have. This is the S&W Model 547. It is a heavy barrel, 9mm (9x19) version of the legendary K-frame, 6-shot M&P revolver. S&W made 10,270 of these from 1980-1985; 6486 round with butt (and 3" barrel), and 3784 with a square butt and 4" barrel (as pictured below). Supposedly, this was the most difficult-to-manufacture revolver that S&W ever made. This Model 547 features walnut magna grips with S&W medallions, a 1/8" serrated ramp front sight, with the typical M&P style square notch rear sight. It has a .265" flat face short throw semi-bobbed hammer, and a .312" smooth trigger. From what I've been told (from reliable sources) the reason for this revolver's existence comes from the Middle East. In the late 1970's, the Israelis wanted to arm the Palestinian Police force with a 9mm handgun, but didn't trust them with an autoloading pistol. Instead, they wanted a simple-to-use a revolver chambered in 9mm (and by "simple-to-use", they meant "no-moon-clips"). They contracted with Smith & Wesson to make it for them.
