Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Some guns earn their reputation the slow way, one range trip at a time, and the Smith & Wesson Model 617 is one of them. It carries on the legacy of the classic K-22 Masterpiece, built on the same K-Frame that S&W has been refining since 1899. This is an all stainless steel revolver chambered in .22 LR, with a 4-inch full lug barrel, a fluted 10-round cylinder, and a satin finish that cleans up easy and looks sharp doing it. At roughly 39 ounces, it has real heft, and that weight is a feature here. Combined with the mild .22 LR cartridge, the gun sits dead steady on target with next to no recoil.
The sights are set up for precision work: a Patridge front post paired with a fully adjustable rear, so you can dial in your zero for whatever ammo you're running. The trigger runs both single and double action, which makes this a fantastic training tool. Shoot it single action for slow fire bullseye work, or run it double action to build trigger control that carries straight over to your centerfire revolvers. If you own a 4-inch 686 or another medium frame wheelgun, the 617 mirrors that feel almost exactly, at a fraction of the ammo cost.
Ten rounds per cylinder means fewer reloads and more shooting, and the finger grooved synthetic grip fills the hand nicely for long sessions. This revolver shines at paper punching, steel plates, plinking, and small game duty where accuracy matters. It's also a great first handgun for teaching new folks, since the manual of arms is simple and the recoil is basically nothing.
There's no polymer frame or alloy shortcut here. Stainless barrel, stainless frame, stainless cylinder. Take reasonable care of a Model 617 and it will still be putting rounds through the same hole when your grandkids inherit it. That's the kind of gun this is.
Very much so. With its full lug 4-inch barrel, adjustable rear sight, and Patridge front post, the 617 routinely prints groups under an inch at 15 yards with quality ammo. The heavy stainless construction keeps it rock steady, which is exactly what you want for bullseye work or steel challenge matches.
A revolver doesn't care about ammo velocity or bullet profile the way a semi-auto does, so it runs everything from bulk pack to match loads without hiccups. The 617 also doubles as a low cost trainer for centerfire wheelguns, since the trigger and handling mirror guns like the 686. Plus, ten rounds per cylinder means it holds more than plenty of rimfire autos.
It weighs about 39 ounces empty, which is substantial for a .22. That heft is a big part of why it shoots so well, since the weight soaks up what little recoil the cartridge has and keeps your sights planted between shots. It's a range gun first, and the balance reflects that.
Yes, several companies make speed loaders designed specifically for the 10-shot 617 cylinder. They're a popular add-on since loading ten small rimfire rounds by hand can slow down a range session. A couple of loaders and you'll spend a lot more time shooting and a lot less time thumbing cartridges into chambers.
