Question about a Prohib revolver UPDATE!

[Still alive]

Way back when RCMP members used to tell us stuff, I was told there were about 200 model 547 revolvers in Canada, and most of those were the 4" square butt model. I have seen some interesting markings on some of these, since a few of these were actually issued in Palestine.

Thank you gunzik. I didn't realize how rare this gun was in Canada. Mine has no markings than the usual S&W stuff. Must be a civvy issue model when the Israeli contract got cancelled. 3" K frames are rare as a class. I'm glad I have 2! At least for the next 20 years or so (hopefully!)

After some negotiation and a loooong wait with the CFO, finally got the 547 transferred!
Here are some S&W K framed prohib ####! The gun came with Tyler T-grips which were kinda fugly so I switched it out for some nice S&W round butt target grips that I had lying around.


The one with the Pachmayr rubber grips is my old MagNaPorted M13.



See the difference in size between the .357 and 9mm rounds. And the 9mm HKS speedloaders are puny!


Notice the guns have similar length cylinders. The 9mm has a long gap to jump. Not sure about accuracy yet. Still awaiting reg papers.

Now there is a pair of beautiful Guns....Very nice!!!

I have never seen one of these, neat, the best shooting gun I ever owned was a 3 in 686.
