This Model 17-9 is built on the S&W K-Frame and configured as a target revolver with a six-shot fluted cylinder and DA/SA action. The engineering change "17-9" is marked on the yoke, identifying this iteration within the Masterpiece Classic series.
The 6-inch carbon steel barrel is non-underlug with a narrow serrated rib and a short lug, paired with a serrated topstrap to reduce glare. Sight regulation is handled by a pinned Patridge front sight and a micrometer-adjustable rear sight.
The revolver is finished in polished blued steel, including the frame and cylinder. It retains the round-butt grip frame fitted with Magna-style wood grips that feature inset S&W medallions.
Additional features include an internal lock located above the cylinder latch and the full-size K-Frame proportions. This configuration, combined with the adjustable iron sights and classic barrel profile, underscores its target-focused design.
