Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 617 K-22 Masterpiece in stainless steel with a full underlug barrel is a revolver that seamlessly blends precision, durability, and classic K-frame ergonomics. Introduced as part of S&W’s long-running K-22 Masterpiece series, the Model 617 is chambered in .22 Long Rifle and is designed for target shooting, training, and recreational plinking. Its full underlug barrel, which extends the entire length beneath the barrel to the muzzle, not only adds visual symmetry but also contributes to balance and reduced muzzle rise, improving accuracy and follow-up shot control. Built on the robust K-frame, the 617 features a six-shot cylinder, an adjustable rear sight, a prominent front sight, and a finely tuned single-action and double-action trigger system. The stainless-steel construction ensures excellent corrosion resistance and a long-lasting finish, while the carefully contoured grips, usually in walnut or synthetic options, provide comfortable handling for extended shooting sessions. With barrel lengths typically ranging from 4 to 6 inches, the Model 617 offers a long sight radius that, when combined with its precision-engineered action, makes it a highly accurate platform for target shooting and competitive applications. In practice, the Model 617 K-22 Masterpiece has earned a reputation for reliability, smooth operation, and exceptional accuracy for a rimfire revolver. Its full-lug design helps mitigate the felt recoil of .22 LR rounds, creating a stable shooting platform ideal for both novice and experienced shooters. The six-round cylinder allows longer range sessions without frequent reloading, which is particularly beneficial for target practice or high-volume plinking. The adjustable rear sight and ramp-style front sight enable precise sighting adjustments, making the revolver suitable for serious target work. Additionally, the revolver’s stainless construction ensures it can withstand frequent use and exposure to environmental elements without significant wear. Collectors and shooters alike value the Model 617 not only as a reliable .22 LR target revolver but also as an example of Smith & Wesson’s commitment to marrying traditional craftsmanship with modern performance, resulting in a revolver that is as practical for training and recreational shooting as it is desirable for a long-term addition to a firearm collection.
