re mod 547

[dcopper]

What is a 3inch round butt Model 547 in excellent condition no box or doxs with barely a turn line, locks up tight as a drum going for these days? Really nice revolver. Would 1100.00 be too much?

I’m thinking $700 plus for one of those... that would be a good auction gun to establish top price.

As you describe it, with the original RB Target stocks, $1100 is low-average in the current market. Prices on these went and stayed slightly crazy over the past few years.

Alan has it right. This model has a cult following that is driving up the prices. I have seen them sell at $1500 for a shooter (nice).

Good luck, and post photos when you get it

I found this one at a local gun show about two years ago and paid $1000 OTD for it. Came with magna grips shown and box. May or may not be unfired since it came from the factory. I know these guns usually had the round butt target (banana) grips, but the magnas fit it perfectly. I have since found a set of correct grips for it.

It was a great deal at 1K and I knew it. I have only seen one more of them and the dealer had it priced at $1800 at a local gun show late last year. When I got back to his table it was gone. I have no idea what it sold for, but I would bet more than $1100.

IIRC, RB are going for about a grand or more, SB somewhat more as there's less of them.

If you get the chance, buy one. They are fun to shoot. Take a look at what
the speed loaders sell for.

I agree with murphydog. $1100 is probably a reasonable price as described.

What do the speed loader sell for?

Since we're on the topic 547's and 547 speed loader here's a picture.

[gmborkovic]

I have seen them in the $50-$75 range!

[That One Guy]

I’ve seen 3 of them in last 3 years at guns shows. All were 3” RB. The cheapest was extremely rough (very scratched, worn bluing and heavily pitted) for $1200. $1500 for a no box, good condition shooter grade and $1800 for LNIB. The 2 nicer ones sold within a couple hours. The rough one has been for sale by the same guy for about 2 years. He won’t budge on the price, either.

[swagmeister]

They are not that common. If you can get it for $1000.00, you will do well.

A few years ago I bought one that fits your description above and I paid just under $900 for it.

I would pay that $1,100 for it today and not even blink!

The Smith and Wesson Mod 547 will be the most accurate 3 inch barreled 9mm you will ever have the pleasure of firing.

Buy it!

Dynamic firearms in pompano beach has one of those guns for sale Karl Sokol from Chestnut Mountain sports Fitted up a 357 magnum BBl to it many years ago.

[AManWearingAHat]

I think 1100 is right in line if not a little low. These have been going for stupid prices lately. Take advantage!

Someone probably oughta look at gunbroker number 808114051 then..
