Value of S&W 547

[PGT]

I came across a 3" with Magna's for $995 today. No box, just the gun. I think I might go grab it.

I think it is a neat revolver and the market says maybe you should buy it for a thousand, no box. Still, the idea of dropping a grand on that makes my head hurt. But the market is the market.

yep. there's a current auction for an unfired one at nearly 2x that price

Just joined the site after reading this thread. I have a duty carried SB 547 that I am thinking of selling or trading. It has some holster wear on the end of the barrel; but otherwise in good shape. Would Gun Broker be a good venue to list it?
Had an epiphany and just found my two speed loaders. 20190219_165835_001.jpg - Google Drive

Put it here, many people are looking for that gun! (in the 4 sale section of course!)

FWIW I have one and realy like it!

Every time one of these threads comes up, I try unsuccessfully to stop myself from posting the serial number of the 4" one I had stolen in 1995 (along with several other handguns).

ABL 5311

I could shoot that revolver better in double-action than any gun I've owned before or since. Don't know why.

I picked up a 4 inch round butt a couple of years ago for $700.

I called Roy Jinks about it and he stated that at the end of production they were trying to move them out the door as fast as possible and use whatever parts they had laying around so that it very well may have left the factory in that configuration.

If you do decide to buy a 547 keep an eye open for speed loaders as they command a premium.

I have a 3'' and its a good gun but to me it has too much of a trigger pull.

I know that due to its purpose it needs a stiff firing pin hit and not to reduce the trigger pull (spring or strain screw) FWIW I have been doing trigger jobs on Smith's since mid 1970s and have done a lot. So I left the springs alone and did some careful stoning and polishing and got the pulls down some what, and it still fires off everything with no hiccups.

I just measured the pulls and in DA I get 11.75 and in SA I get 3.50. Most of my revolver shooting is DA. My gauge has a max of 12. I did not measure the pulls before I did my polish job but its much smother and easier now.
