My first DA-capable .22 LR revolver was my new 4" 617 bought 9/08 - after I turned 60! Don't make my mistake... get one sooner rather than later - they really are that much fun. You'll soon forget the price you paid. You can, if your eyes are as mature as mine, get some help plinking with your 617 by changing the front sight - the HiViz 'SW617' is made low to match the original rear sights. The no-fg Ahrends cocobolo retro targets helped my grip - and the DS-10 speedloder & loading baseplate add to the 'fun factor'.



Mine loves the el cheapo Federal bricks from WallyWorld. Great buy... congratulations!
