I had a 3" 547, two actually. That, undoubtedly expensive to manufacture, extraction system functioned perfectly, even with +P and +P+ ammo. But I agree with colt_saa, that system will not be returning to the S&W line. I would be happy if S&W would prove me, and colt_saa, wrong about this.
I still have a couple little 5-shooter 9MM revolvers that use moon clips. I still like the 9MM revolvers in spite of having to load moon clips. Still enjoy semi-autos too, in spite of having to load magazines
