The reason I didn't get the 547 was that I wanted an under lug and didn't want an exposed ejector rod, and I wanted adjustable sights.
I could live without the under lug, but I really wanted adjustable sights. I thought S&W would eventually make the 547 with adjustable sights but instead, they stopped making them altogether !
I also took a pass on the Ruger Speed Six, SP101 and S&W 940 because they had fixed sights. I thought they would come out with a model that had adjustable sights. Instead the 9mm revolver disappeared, and I really regretted not getting one.
But anyway, I've learned my lesson, if you really want a 9mm revolver you can't wait because not a lot are made and they don't stay on the market long.
At least that has been the history up till now, although the 9mm revolver seems to have come into its own last year and this year.
There are now more 9mm revolvers available from more manufacturers than ever before:
S&W with 2 offerings the 986 and the 929
Ruger with the LCR
Charter Arms with the PITBULL
Taurus with the 905 (blued & stainless)
Korth with the Sky Marshall
And the Alfa Proj 9231 gets imported occasionally.
