9mm Restricted Revolvers in Canada?
- Thread starter bigi
- Start date
S&W had a DA/SA some years back that used spring whiskers that would snap into the rim notches to eject the rounds. It was the Model 547.
If you find one in Canada be prepared to pay through the nose. They are not common at all in my experience and both collectors and avid 9mm fans have kept the demand, and thus the price, up there.
If you simply want the revolver shooting experience without the cost or difficulty finding such a gun then go with the old style SA Ruger convertable.
If you're after a swing out cylinder hand ejector type then realistically you're out of luck unless you are very patient and are willing to pay the premium price. I'm afraid that from a frequent shooting standpoint and reasonable availability you're stuck with adding .38Spl or .357Mag to your collection.

Nope, the M547 was available in 3" and 4".
According to the SCSW, 6486 547s were made in 3" Round Butt and 4084 made in 4" Square Butt. The model was introduced in 1981 and dropped in 1985.
Without moon clips, double action, swing out cylinder: No.
Unless someone converts their 547(s) to 4.25" barrels.
Ruger's product doesn't need moon clips, since it is single action and loads / unloads one-at-a-time.
So I guess your answer, without moon clips, is the Ruger.
