I dropped out of the auction that went to $2280 at $2k but won mine on the next 547 offered for $1650. My bid on that one went to $2000 as well but didn't have to go that far to get it.
No box or anything but the gun itself. I feel like I got a bargain on mine considering it's near new condition. The weapon feels great in hand, perfect balance and points naturally. I've tried several grips on it and the Hogue laser grips are the best fit for my hands.
I carry the 547 AISW in a Kydex holster with my 915 in left hand Kydex for small of back carry as back-up to the 547 when "going heavy"
Not a light gun, but the weight is comforting and easily managed when in Appendix carry.
Adding the laser is a very positive thing for me as adding night sights are not an option without major gunsmithing. I also painted the sights with a glow in the dark paint. Activating them with my 1000 lumen tactical light lasts for about 10 minutes and they are far brighter than Tritium sights once activated.
No safe queen, I shoot it regularly and carry it often. When the turn ring appears it will be mine.
