Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 17, originally known as the K-22 Masterpiece, has long been regarded as one of the finest .22 LR target revolvers ever produced. Introduced in the 1930s on S&W’s K-Frame, it quickly earned a reputation for superb accuracy, exceptional balance, a beautifully tuned action, and premium adjustable target sights—qualities that made it a favorite among competitive shooters, small-game hunters, law enforcement trainers, and serious marksmen for decades. Its deep polished blue finish, hand-fitted lockwork, and timeless lines reflect the height of Smith & Wesson’s mid-century craftsmanship, solidifying the Model 17 as a cornerstone in American rimfire revolver history. The Model 17-4, produced from the late 1970s into the early 1980s, represents one of the final classic iterations before later manufacturing changes. Retaining the forged components, pinned barrels, recessed cylinders, and smooth, glass-like double-action trigger that collectors treasure, the 17-4 showcases the last era of traditional S&W build quality. These revolvers were built to a standard seldom replicated today, and high-condition examples have become increasingly desirable. For collectors and shooters alike, a Model 17-4 offers the perfect combination of historical significance, refined craftsmanship, and unmatched rimfire shootability—an enduring testament to why the K-22 Masterpiece remains the benchmark by which all .22 LR revolvers are measured.
