Smith & Wesson Model 617

The Smith & Wesson Model 617 is a medium revolver built on Smith & Wesson's K-frame, introduced in 1990. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle with a 10-round cylinder. Constructed with a stainless steel frame and cylinder, this revolver offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability for years of reliable service. The 6.0-inch barrel provides a generous sight radius for enhanced accuracy, particularly suited for target shooting and hunting applications. At 1275g (45.0 oz), this is a substantial revolver that uses its mass to tame recoil from powerful magnum loads, making extended range sessions more comfortable. Smith & Wesson has been producing K-frame revolvers for well over a century, continuously refining the platform with improved metallurgy, ergonomics, and manufacturing techniques while maintaining the fundamental reliability and accuracy that has made their double-action revolvers the benchmark against which all others are measured.
