Good luck.

Declaring it a "piece of junk" after 50 rounds...you know, you're right. Better send it to me.



What're the 617 going for? $700?

I have well over $1000 in my .22 auto. The 617 is probably just as accurate, with a trigger that's almost as good.

Model 41s are up to about $1200. Nobody who has one would ever suggest they aren't worth it. They can be finicky buggers, too. But hey--don't buy a racecar and fill the tank with pump gas. And compared to the guns that the 41 competes against, it's not very choosy at all.

I'd say the 617 is a steal. It's a scant $60 more than the GP-100 .22, and built the same way as S&W's centerfires--no cheaped-out frames, aluminum, or plastic.
As for the trigger Jam i am referring to the trigger would not pull back nor would the hammer cock back. Whatever the technical terms are it would not pull back to fire also the hammer would not pull back to single fire either. I understand this is a very reputable company but nothing should come out of the box that way whether i pay $1 or $10,00 fir something.
So there is a forum, I post what actually went wrong with my gun and i get scalded upon. not like I'm making this stuff up.
