Here's my 617-1 with combats





Your turn...

I've posted this photo before, but here are my two no-dash 617s.

It's hard to imagine a nicer, more enjoyable handgun.

617 no dash. I'd love to find a 4 inch no dash.

I think that when you find that elusive four-inch no-dash, your six-incher will see a LOT less trigger time. The shorter gun just hangs in the hand so much better and mine is actually a little more accurate than my longer one.

I shot my six-inch a month ago for the first time in - well - years and only because I had replaced the factory rear sight assembly in that photo with a Millett like the one on the four-inch and wanted to sight it in.

I'm one of those who finds K/L Combat stocks horribly uncomfortable yet I like them on a square-butt N-frame and find that Target stocks fit me acceptably. As it is equipped in that photo, my four-inch 617 is about the perfect revolver.

Two 617-4s. The 4" gets more attention.

I agree Ed. I have the 6 inch because it fell in my lap for a great price, but would much rather have the 4inch no dash to complement my -4, 10 shot 617

true..which is why i just sold off a 6" no dash and a 6" -1. Now i have only the 4" no dash...frees up space in the safe too

 

[ladder13]

What would be the price difference between a 4 and 6 inch no dash 617, and in which one's favor?

 

[TwoPoundPull]

I don't have a 4".......Yet

 

[myellowc5]

2 no dash models

Long tube is NIB, 6 inch mint no box, looking for 4 inch now

 

[Matt Hooper]

Had it. Sold it. Miss it!

I love this revolver. It needs to get to the range more.

older thread, but wish to see more 617's
this is my 617-3 Target champion with new grips.

This is my 617 no dash. Purchased from a guy who was an engineer at S&W who had it fitted with a 10 round cylinder, have the 6 round and parts to convert it back.
