The Model 317-2 AirLite pairs an aluminum-alloy frame and cylinder with a steel barrel liner inside an alloy shroud. The matte silver/gray finish is consistent across the frame and cylinder, giving the revolver a uniform, utilitarian look. The snub-length 2-inch barrel keeps the package compact while retaining a traditional J-frame profile.
This revolver is chambered in .22 LR and holds eight rounds in its J-frame cylinder. It operates in double-action/single-action and uses a smooth-faced trigger with an exposed, checkered hammer spur for confident cocking when desired. It is made in the United States.
The fixed-sight setup includes a serrated ramp front sight and an integral rear notch machined into the topstrap. Grips are black synthetic, boot-style panels with S&W medallions, offering a compact profile for carry and handling.
Markings include AirLite on the frame and a 317-2 stamp on the yoke, identifying the engineering change. An internal keyed lock is integrated into the design. Typical unloaded weight is about 10.8 oz.
