Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson 617-1 is a highly respected stainless-steel double-action revolver produced by Smith & Wesson and is considered one of the finest rimfire revolvers ever manufactured. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the 617-1 is part of the famous K-frame lineage that traces its heritage directly to the legendary K-22 Masterpiece target revolvers. Introduced during a period when Smith & Wesson was transitioning many of its popular models to stainless-steel construction, the 617-1 combined the proven design and handling characteristics of the Model 17 with the durability and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. One of the defining characteristics of the 617-1 is its six-shot cylinder, a feature that distinguishes it from later ten-shot variants, making it particularly desirable among traditional revolver enthusiasts and collectors. The revolver typically features a full underlug barrel, adjustable target sights, target hammer and trigger, and attractive wooden target stocks that provide both comfort and excellent control. Built on Smith & Wesson’s medium-sized K-frame, the 617-1 offers exceptional balance and a weight that helps steady the sights for precise shooting. Mechanically, the revolver utilizes Smith & Wesson’s renowned double-action/single-action lockwork, delivering a smooth trigger pull and outstanding reliability. The .22 LR chambering produces virtually no recoil, allowing shooters to focus entirely on sight alignment and trigger control while enjoying long shooting sessions with inexpensive ammunition. In practical use, the 617-1 developed a reputation for remarkable accuracy, making it equally at home on the target range, in small-game hunting, or as a training revolver for shooters developing their marksmanship. Collectors often seek out the 617-1 because it represents one of the classic six-shot stainless K-frame rimfire revolvers produced before later engineering changes and higher-capacity cylinders became standard. Today, the Smith & Wesson 617-1 remains highly sought after for its superb craftsmanship, excellent shooting qualities, and status as one of the finest traditional .22 LR revolvers ever built.
