Overview

The Smith and Wesson Model 547 is a six-shot K-frame revolver chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. It was designed in the 1970s specifically for European police forces who wanted a 9mm revolver for logistical simplicity. The Model 547 features a unique extractor system that reliably ejects rimless 9mm cartridges. It uses three spring-loaded extractor claws rather than a traditional star extractor to grip the cartridge rims. This revolver was also adopted by the United States Naval Investigative Service. Production was limited, making the 547 a sought-after collector's item.
