Smith & Wesson Model 17-5 K-22 Masterpiece .22 LR Blued DA/SA Revolver, 6-Shot, 6 Inch Barrel, Adjustable Sights
This Smith & Wesson Model 17-5 K-22 Masterpiece is a blued, carbon-steel K-frame target revolver chambered in .22 LR. It features a 6 inch barrel with a serrated rib and a partial under-barrel ejector shroud that distinguishes it from later full-lug variants. The revolver combines a DA/SA action, a hammer-mounted firing pin, and precision target sights, and it is in excellent overall condition.
Target-oriented details include a Patridge front sight and a micrometer-click adjustable rear sight. The six-shot fluted cylinder, clean blued finish, and checkered wood stocks with S&W medallions highlight the classic S&W target configuration. Factory markings are present, including the S&W monogram on the sideplate and the Springfield, Massachusetts address line.
The yoke cut is clearly marked "MOD. 17-5" with assembly markings, confirming the correct dash variation. Traditional S&W lockwork with an exposed hammer and hammer-mounted firing pin completes the period-correct setup. Built in the United States on the K-frame, this revolver reflects the K-22 Masterpiece series focus on accuracy and refined handling in a rimfire platform.
