Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 17 is a six-shot double-action revolver chambered for .22 LR. It is built on Smith & Wesson's medium-sized K-frame. Smith & Wesson's Models 16 and 17 have their origins with the company's Pre-World War 2 Hand Ejector series in the 1930s. These two revolver models debuted as companion pieces known as the Models K-32 and K-22 after World War 2. The K-32 Masterpiece (Model 16) debuted in 1935 and was chambered in .32 S&W Long caliber. Production ceased during World War 2 and the revolver was reintroduced in 1947 along with the K-22 Masterpiece (Model 17) in .22 Long Rifle caliber.
The Model 16 was dropped from production in 1983 due to the declining popularity of the .32 S&W Long caliber and the Model 17 was discontinued in 1998 as the company focused less on blued steel revolvers at the time.
In 1990, Smith & Wesson (S&W) began shipping the Model 17, which had various barrel lengths: 4-inch, 6-inch, or 8 3/8-inch, and a full under lug barrel. The "under lug" was a solid, blued steel circular rod, cast as part of the barrel, that ran under the barrel from the front of the cylinder yoke to the muzzle's end. This under lug not only enclosed the ejector rod but also added significant weight to the gun. The under lug model was shipped with a special round-butt wood grip that featured inletted finger grooves.
