I bought myself and my son a 3" model 317. I bought my wife a Lady Smith 317 in the pretty case. I gave my model 63 to my 21 year old grandson. I did keep the model 18 for myself though. If shooting matters the model 18 is the most accurate, K frame vs J frame.

I'm old so carrying in the field I prefer the model 317, but it does take ALLOT of shooting to get used the light weight and V notch rear sight.
If you don't own a S&W .22 rimfire then a model 17 or model 18 is good to buy; but for carry a 317. A model 63 is a great compromise for a new buyer.
