I stopped by a local pawn shop today and found this little beauty sitting there. Someone took the original stocks off and put these finger grooves on that I hate. I had an extra pair of targets laying around. Much better looking I think. I have been wanting one of these for a while now.

Beautiful gun.

I agree, it looks much better with the targets on it.

Great gun! I have a four and six inch and they are both super. Not a lot of these out there as Smith quickly switched to the 17-7 with aluminum cylinder.

Nice Looking M17
I think I see Millett rear sights on that fine shooter..Doesn't look factory but I could be wrong..Doesn't look like my 617s sight?
Congrats & shoot it alot, That's the beauty of these ammo sippers, Low Ammo Cost..

My 6" 17-6 is a tack driver, but selective on ammo. It definitely prefers standard velocity, and is partial to Aguila SE 40 gr.
