The black synthetic finger-groove grips with S&W medallions provide a secure, hand-filling hold on the full-size K-Frame. An internal key lock is included as a factory safety feature.
Identified by S&W mfg part number 160578, this Model 617-6 brings together the classic K-Frame format, a 10-shot .22 LR setup, and durable stainless construction for dependable rimfire shooting.
