What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 617-1 revolver
The 6-inch stainless steel barrel uses a full-length underlug and a serrated rib, giving the revolver a steady, muzzle-forward configuration. The topstrap is serrated to reduce glare along the sighting plane. The overall finish is satin stainless across the frame, cylinder, and receiver.
This K-frame .22 LR is configured with a 6-round fluted cylinder and double-action/single-action operation. The yoke cut is clearly marked "MOD 617-1," and the cylinder latch is the checkered teardrop style. The ejector rod has a knurled tip for positive manipulation.
Sight equipment includes a pinned black front blade on a ramp base and a micrometer-adjustable rear with a plain black blade. This setup provides precise windage and elevation adjustments with a clean, uncluttered sight picture.
The trigger is a smooth-face, semi-target style paired with a case-hardened style hammer featuring a checkered spur. Controls and contact surfaces are designed for confident handling and consistent operation.
Factory-style black rubber finger-groove grips with S&W medallions round out the package, complementing the stainless construction. This United States-made revolver presents a classic .22 LR target and training configuration in the durable K-frame platform.
