Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 17-2, chambered in .22 LR with a 6-inch blued barrel, stands as one of the most celebrated rimfire revolvers ever produced, representing the peak of S&W’s K-22 Masterpiece lineage and the high craftsmanship of the company’s 1960s production era. Built on the K-frame and featuring the desirable pinned barrel and recessed chambers characteristic of this generation, the 17-2 offers an exceptional combination of balance, precision, and mechanical finesse that has endeared it to target shooters for decades. The 6-inch barrel provides an ideal sight radius for fine accuracy, and its well-blued, high-polish finish adds both aesthetic richness and corrosion resistance. Equally important are the micrometer-click adjustable rear sight and paired Patridge front sight—features that make the 17-2 a true target revolver capable of tailoring point of impact to specific ammunition or shooting preferences. Its six-shot cylinder, perfectly tuned lockup, and smooth double-action pull demonstrate S&W’s craftsmanship of the era, while the single-action break is famously crisp and light, reinforcing why shooters often describe the 17-2 as one of the finest rimfire triggers ever produced. The revolver’s full-length underlug-less barrel profile keeps the weight centered, resulting in a lively, responsive feel that suits slow-fire accuracy as well as more rapid defensive-style drills. Traditional walnut target stocks, with their checkering and palm swell, complete the package with both ergonomics and period-correct visual appeal. Collectors prize the 17-2 not only for its performance and beauty but also for its representation of a period when Smith & Wesson dedicated extraordinary attention to fit, finish, and precision. As a shooter, a keepsake, or a training analog for centerfire K-frames, the Model 17-2 remains one of the most beloved rimfire revolvers ever made.
