Unusual K/N Frame Calibers?

[DWFAN]

No mention of the Model 547. 9MM with a very Unique ejector to eliminate moon clips.

Don't take it apart

Don't ever take a 547 cylinder apart. You may never get it back together again ;-)

Used by some Tunnel Rats in Vietnam. A very unusual sealed cartridge using high-density pellets in a highly modified smoothbore M29. It made no noise. Only a few were made.

Not an expert but I do know that one N frame Registered Magnum was actually built in 22 Long Rifle caliber on special order. Would love to see that one. I also know that S&W dallied with the 30 Carbine but quickly gave up on it.


I wish that whomever owns that 22 N frame would post some photos of it or allow a trusted friend to post on his behalf. I have heard he wishes to remain anonymous but it would be great to see that gun.

Weren't there some smoothbore .44-40 Shot factory guns?

"I also know that S&W dallied with the 30 Carbine but quickly gave up on it."

Not so much that S&W gave up on it, but the military decided the idea of a revolver chambered in .30 Carbine served no practical combat purpose. Of course, it is practical to chamber a revolver in .30 Carbine - Ruger has done it for years with their Blackhawk. There was also once a semiauto pistol chambered in .30 Carbine, but I can't remember the name - started with a "K" I think. It was not a success, as there were some instances of the slide blowing off.

How about the model 11 chambered in 38 S&W also called the 38/200 Military & Police?
