*SOLD* 1991 Smith Wesson 617 .22 LR Stainless 6" *SOUGHT AFTER NO DASH MODEL*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:

The Smith & Wesson Model 617 (No Dash) is a precision-crafted, stainless steel revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle, designed for target shooting, training, and small game hunting. Rooted in the legacy of the Model 17, the 617 improves upon its predecessor with a durable stainless steel construction that resists wear and corrosion far better than traditional blued carbon steel. Built on the time-tested K-frame with a square butt, this revolver features a 6-inch full-lug barrel that adds both weight and balance to reduce muzzle rise and improve accuracy. Its solid construction, including a three-screw side plate and full-lug design, gives the revolver a robust, confidence-inspiring feel in hand.
 
Precision aiming is achieved with a pinned black Patridge front sight paired with a micrometer-click adjustable rear sight, offering fine control for tight groupings at the range. The smooth walnut grips with finger grooves and inlaid S&W medallions not only enhance the revolver’s classic look but also provide ergonomic comfort for extended shooting sessions. The double/single-action mechanism allows for both fast, DA firing and crisp, deliberate single-action shots. Additional features include a checkered hammer for improved control, a frame-mounted firing pin, and the Hammer Block safety system, ensuring the revolver won’t discharge unless the trigger is fully pulled. With its combination of refined aesthetics and dependable performance, the Model 617 exemplifies the craftsmanship and tradition of Smith & Wesson revolvers.
