Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
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 SW Long caliber and the Model 17 was discontinued in 1998 as the company focused less on blued steel revolvers at the time.
The S&W Model 17-8 is a 10-shot 22 caliber made in 1996 and produced until 1999. 1996 was the year in which S&W introduced the 10-shot alloy cylinder. This revolver is a double action revolver built on the round butt K target frame, it carries a 6inch full lug barrel, target hammer, target trigger is drill and tapped and finished with a blue glass bead finish which is unlike the highly polished blued finish most are accustomed to seeing. At first sight of this revolver you know right away you are looking at something different and special. Upon unlatching the alloy cylinder, the lite feel of the alloy along with the sight of 10, 22 caliber chambers it becomes obvious very quickly that this is not just another model 17.
