Hi,
I'm in the process of trading my Browning Buckmark Target for a S&W 22LR revolver with the following choices:
a 617-6 with 4" barrel, a 17 and a 17-3 both with 6" barrel.
To provide me with some orientation before stepping into the gun shop I would like to know:
1) the 617 is built on a K frame or on a L frame? I'm asking this because in the pix it looks like a 686
2) What is the general opinion on the DA pull of the new revolvers compared to the older ones?
Overall, as a matter of personal tastes, I find the model 17's to be more appealing but still, in favor of the 617, I like 4" barrel better than 6" barrels.
Thanks
Fausto
