Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 617 revolver in .22 LR caliber is based upon the previous model 17, that’s no longer produced, improved by using stainless steel instead of the standard blued carbon steel. It is built on a K (medium frame) – square butt, first introduced in 1899 with the .38 Military & Police revolver. The 617 Smith & Wesson revolver is available with a 4 or 6 inch barrel; the 8 3/8 inch version is no longer listed. The .22 LR caliber Smith & Wesson model 617, is based on a stainless steel K frame with an external hammer. The side plate is held together with three screws. The revolver has a single and a double action trigger. The full barrel lug contributes to the gun’s hefty look. The steel used for this gun has a satin finish that can easily withstand rough handling. Just like in all recent Smith & Wesson revolvers, the firing pin is located in the frame. The hammer has noticeable checkering, which allows a rather firm grip.
