Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There is a reason the Model 617 keeps showing up at the range decades after Smith & Wesson introduced it. This is a full-size K-Frame revolver, the same platform S&W has been refining since 1899, chambered in .22 LR with a 10-round cylinder. At roughly 44 ounces of satin stainless steel, it soaks up what little recoil the rimfire cartridge produces and settles beautifully on target. The 6-inch full lug barrel adds muzzle weight right where you want it, and the balance rewards a patient trigger press with tight groups.
The trigger is where this revolver really separates itself. You get a smooth target trigger and target hammer, with a light, crisp single-action pull for precision work and a usable double-action stroke for running plates or building trigger discipline. The Patridge front sight pairs with a fully adjustable rear for a clean, glare-free sight picture, and the frame comes drilled and tapped if you ever want to mount an optic. Hogue rubber grips fill the hand well and give all four fingers something to hold onto.
Because the 617 mirrors the weight and handling of S&W's centerfire K and L-Frame revolvers, it makes a smart practice companion for anyone who shoots a .357 or .38 wheelgun. You keep the same manual of arms and trigger feel while burning through bulk rimfire ammo instead of pricier centerfire loads. It is also one of the best revolvers around for introducing a new shooter to the sport. Mild report, no real recoil, and a simple swing-out cylinder keep the experience friendly from the first shot.
Stainless frame, cylinder, and barrel mean this revolver shrugs off range wear and holds its looks for the long haul. Owners routinely describe the 617 as overbuilt for rimfire, and that is exactly the point. This is the kind of gun that gets handed down, not traded in.
It is one of the best. The 617 is built on the same K-Frame as S&W's .38 and .357 revolvers, so the grip, weight, and trigger feel carry over almost exactly. You get realistic practice with cheap rimfire ammo, which means more rounds downrange for the same budget.
Yes, it runs both ways. Thumb the hammer back for a light, crisp single-action break when you want maximum precision, or run it double action for speed work and trigger control practice. The smooth target trigger and wide target hammer make both modes pleasant.
You can. The frame comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so a scope mount or red dot base installs without gunsmithing. The adjustable rear sight and Patridge front are excellent on their own, but a red dot is a popular addition for aging eyes and rimfire competition.
The 6-inch model gives you a longer sight radius and a bit more muzzle weight, both of which help with deliberate target shooting. It weighs around 44 ounces versus roughly 39 for the 4-inch, so it hangs steadier on target. If bullseye accuracy is the goal, the 6-inch is the one most target folks reach for.
