I have a 547 (K frame) and like it. I bought it because it is a bit different.
From what I have seen many people never even have heard of this revolver, let alone handle one or fire one. I do to circumstances have a lot of 9MM (both factory and hand loads.) When I show them the extractor/ejector system they tend to get impressed. My kid a machinist forman said "Dad I would hate to tell you what I think it cost to design/build that system."
Have a 6906 which I really do not care for so the 547 gets rounds fired.
I did not get it as a CCW but I have no doubts it would do a good job if called on. I have the 3” heavy barrel and to me the balance is perfect and this gun shoots well... I know there are speed loaders available (expensive) but as stated just shooting at the range or back yard not a problem If I get the right deal in the future might pick up a 9MM that uses Moonie clips.
