The 617-4 engineering change is marked on the yoke cut, and the revolver carries correct factory rollmarks: "SMITH & WESSON" on the left side of the barrel, ".22 LONG RIFLE CTG." on the right side, the S&W logo on the left sideplate, and "MADE IN U.S.A. MARCAS REGISTRADAS SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS." on the right frame.
Its 6-inch stainless steel barrel uses a full underlug, heavy profile, and integral ejector-rod shroud for rigidity, with serrations on the barrel rib and topstrap to reduce glare. The satin stainless frame and fluted 10-shot cylinder match for a consistent, durable finish.
The target sighting setup includes a pinned front sight paired with an adjustable target-style rear sight, giving precise control over elevation and windage for rimfire accuracy.
This double-action/single-action revolver uses a smooth MIM trigger and an exposed hammer with a checkered wide spur. A checkered cylinder-release latch provides positive manipulation. The revolver is a pre-lock configuration with no internal key lock.
Non-factory smooth two-piece hardwood target-style grips/panels with an exposed backstrap are installed, offering a clean profile that complements the K-frame stainless construction.
