S&W 617
« on: December 26, 2022, 12:09:41 PM »
So I’ve had a 6" S&W 17-6 for some years now, and have been lusting for the stainless version. I saw several for sale in the last 12 months, all 6" but felt they were priced too high.

Then a week ago I saw an ad from a private seller for a 4", first time I ever saw one for sale. Similar high price but for the rarer 4" version. Met the seller, haggled a bit and came home with it after forking out $ 950.-

Congrats- I have a 10 shot 617, also in 4”.  Great gun & possibly my favorite S&W.  I use it often in our ASI games with my wife who shoots aRuger MK II my Dad passed down to me.

Nice find.  I have a 6 inch 617 that is super accurate. Great guns!

I've got a pre-model 17, 6".  Super gun, fun, accurate, cheap to shoot.  What's not to like. Also, it was shipped in '52, my birthyear.  I'll bet your 4" has a nice balance to it.  Enjoy.
