Skyraider, you're not comparing apples and apples. To be FAIRLY judged, the 617 trigger should be compared to the triggers of other DA .22 LR revolvers. The Model 41 is a Target Pistol, designed for competition on an international level, and widely thought of as one of the FINEST COMPETITION TARGET PISTOLS EVER MANUFACTURED......

Here's a few pics of my 4 inch 617. It's wearin' the PLUG to cover the hole, and a set of Ahrends grips. The sights are S&W RR, that replace the stock Patridge and a Weigand rear blade. It shoots better than I can hold it.......

Default 10 shot 617

My 6 inch 10 shot 617-2 has many years and thousands of rounds through it at bowling pins and steel matches. The 4 inch 10 shot 617 is now my favorite for speed shooting. The balance of the 4 inch 617 seems to be the best for me. The model 63 8 shot is my best carry .22 and is also proving to be fun at steel shoots and pins.

My DA .22's:

617 (no dash) 6 inch 6 shot
617-2 6 inch 10 shot
617-6 4 inch 10 shot
63-5 3 inch 8 shot
New Ruger SP101 8 shot

I love the grips. What and where did you get them?
