Introducing the Smith & Wesson Model 647 revolver, an iconic piece of the revered manufacturer's history and a great example of precision and performance. This revolver is in very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. Minor scuffs and noticeable scratches on the right side behind the cylinder and the left side below the cylinder add a touch of character, while the bright bore condition with its clean, mirror finish and sharp lands and grooves of the rifling reflect excellent maintenance and care.
The Model 647 is Smith & Wesson's exclusive venture into .17 HMR caliber revolvers, making it a unique addition to any collection. Manufactured in 2004, this revolver has an 8.4" barrel length and a 6-round capacity, making it a fantastic revolver to take out to the range, and a reliable choice for small game hunting and sports shooting. With its stainless steel finish and Hogue rubberized grips with finger grooves, it offers a blend of durability, corrosion resistance, and comfortable handling.
The revolver's double-action/single-action mechanism and pinned black front blade with a rear fully adjustable square notch enhance its functionality and user experience.
