I tried out a S&W 617 .22 LR, 10 shot revolver today. It had about a 4" barrel. The accuracy and single action trigger were very good, but the DA trigger was heavy and NOT smooth.
Overall, I liked it, but I think the price is kind of steep given its a .22 revolver.
I'm still considering it though, since one can shoot it often and the ammo is cheap. Any complaints or weaknesses I should worry about with the S&W 617?
The frame looks very durable considering its only a .22, but are there any inherent problems with this model?
The one I tried out looked like it was newer--it had the key hole on top of the cylinder release.
