Simply put, how do I get my hands on a new 617? Is S&W even making these? I've been looking for a new 4" or 6" 617 for about 3 months. I have had one on backorder at a local dealer for 2 months.

I have seen a half dozen or so used at local gun shows, but they were asking new gun prices so I figured I would just try to find a new one. Haven't seen much on Gunbroker that wasn't priced $200+ over what dealers that don't have them say they cost (example). I heard that I just missed a batch of them at Davidson's though...

Any thoughts? I am looking new as I'd like to have a 10 shot model, and I just prefer buying new when it comes to firearms (unless I know the history, ie a friend owned it and it was well maintained). Should I just buy used, pay $200 high through Gunbroker, or just keep waiting?!
