Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Traced directly to Smith & Wesson's post-WWII target masterworks, the Model 17 (originally introduced as the K-22 Masterpiece) represents the golden age of American rimfire target revolvers. Built on S&W's legendary medium K-frame platform, the Model 17 was engineered to match the exact frame weight, grip contour, and sight line of its centerfire siblings, making it the ultimate practice and competition wheelgun. The 17 engineering dash revision, introduced in 1961, implemented a key mechanical refinement by changing the cylinder stop screw thread direction. Early 1960s production Model 17s hold high collector esteem for retaining desirable classic features like the pinned barrel assembly, fully recessed .22 LR cylinder chambers, and a 4-screw frame construction. This specific example bears serial number K392390, dating its manufacture to approximately 1960. Featuring a 6-inch tapered barrel, high-gloss factory blued finish, case-hardened target hammer and trigger, and custom smooth hardwood finger-groove target grips embellished with silver S&W medallions, this revolver combines classic lines with refined target handling. The original factory blued finish remains remarkably vivid, showing bright gloss and deep mirror blue tone across all surfaces with minimal age-appropriate handling marks. Mechanically, cylinder timing and lockup are exceptionally precise, trigger break in single-action is target-grade crisp, and the 6-inch bore displays bright, sharp rifling. This early 1960s Model 17 K-22 Masterpiece represents an outstanding investment-grade centerpiece for vintage Smith & Wesson collectors and rimfire target shooting purists alike.
