I'm in with a 17-8, matt blue, full underlug, 10 shot alloy cyl. & 6in. bbl.

Me too! I just found a 617 locally. Some how I missed this thread and posted it in another (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=355455). Here's a photo:

Love those Model 17s being posted.

I recently found some Herrett's Shooting Star grips for my 617. They are my favorite after market grip for the K/L frame Smiths.

I'll go along.......

Even in the Netherlands (Holland) we like those 17 models!!!!
Here's mine 17-8 with pachmayr grip....isn't she a beauty.......

My Model 17. I also have a 5" 6 shot 617 and 4" 10 shot 617. The 17 is currently at the factory getting rebuilt after 50 yrs. of heavy shooting.

pkoel81,
Is that a steel or an alloy cylinder? Looks blued from the pic, but I did not think such an animal existed.

Bought my K22 new in 1950 when I was 14. Cost 60 dollars. Took about 2 years to accumulate all that change in a couple of tabacco cans. Still run about 100 rds a month thru her.

Wow those 17's are nice! What should I expect to pay for one like new, with a 6" barrel?

Thanks

Here's mine...

Another oldie but goody.

S&W 617-6 10-shot 6", with Eagle "Heritage" grips, a hard-chromed target trigger, an old-style cylinder release thumbpiece, resting atop a box of its new favorite ammo (CCI Standard Velocity).



I've also got a S&W 17-8 10-shot 6", but I haven't had a chance to take pictures of it yet.

Here's mine all ready for squirrel hunting:

My 17-0 back from the factory with a new cylinder, a 5" 617-5 and 4" 617-6.

Can I join? My new 4" 617 - and it's dinner!

Well, if K-22s are permitted into the club...

Better looking than this pictures shows. 17-3 (1971 mfg I have been told.)

17-2 1962 (41, 1980)

Count me in. Love those 17's and 617's.

Mine:

My 17-2 is the lower one in the photo, along with its big brother, my 14-2 above.

Here's my 10 shot, love it!

I have a chance to get a nice condition (93%) post war K-22 Masterpiece, just not sure if it's a good deal or not at $525...

Here's mine.

My compliments to all of you good tasteful folks who appreciate the niceties of Smith & Wesson .22 caliber revolvers.

I have some: a 1948 and a 1958 K22 6" and a later 1989 17-6. I've also more recently aquired by trade one of the black full lug 10 shot models, a 617-8 (? - it's out in the kitchen, too far to go for verification right now) and like that one very much.

Just last week I found a mint ANIB Model 18 that I'm almost positive has never been fired since it's 1975 manufacture. Awesome find, beautiful pistol, shocking price. I could not resist it.

In miniature I've also got a 34-1, 2" snubbie J frame target revolver!

I'll come back later with some photos but for now I'm using an unfamiliar browser without bookmarks. See the news about IE today.

I have several 17's and 48's but my favorite is my 22 is my 617 no - and no IL in 6 shot.

Here is my 17-2. I got it for $150.00 a couple of years ago. What a lucky day that was!!!
