Hi, new member from deep south Georgia (hot dawgies, it HOT out on the gun range this weekend !) I will keep it short 1st centerfire handgun I ever bought was my best ever, S&W k-frame, and it still is.. except got seven of 'em now (only because can't afford eight)... so now I have seven...

only problem is that those most likely to buy 'em... probably already own 'em :)

that pretty much says it new model 63 not bad, but no comparison to the old model 63 4" a "same" in 22 WMR would ring my chimes yeah, I know, the oldies in WMR are still around at "rare & house mortgage prices" :(

$1000 is a tad stiff for a Colt Government model 380acp (my favorite casual wear gun, bought mine l-o-n-g ago for $300, but SIL bought his just a year ago for ... $300) reason some of would like somebody to start making 'em again (and some of the newer & similar is NOT same as), are those folks...

last comment new here, did not mean to start any arguments (and my syntax may be off, usually is) asked for help, got help, and much appreciate it BC and endshake, what's good, what's bad, what's acceptable, google that, you will hear different things from different sources but - "when clean...

when you push the cylinder backward with your thumb that's not static BC all will move some "excessive total BC" is bad, yes there is a front and a rear connotations of words - there really is no such thing as ZERO BC gap or ZERO endshake, unless gun is frozen solid ENDSHAKE, need .002...

just curious... did all the 17-3s come with wide hammer spur and wide target trigger ? this one did my 17-4 did not (I do really like having BOTH)

thanks HR yep, I have concluded the same never was anything wrong with a spray-n-wipe with some breakfree in between shooting some more- I always have some in kit anyway, 'cause I always clean 'em before leaving the range, whether 5 shots fired or 500 just needed some reassurance I didn't...

both mine (6 inchers) have the target style with speedloader style cut 66-2 and 66-3

understood SP, exactly what I said cannot "see gap" but NO there is no contact when clean, nada, zilch, no drag (hence there IS a gap), but cannot see or measure since "somebody" lost my <0.003" feelers) only like you said, once build up some residue when clean, it's slick, and smooth as a...

I duuno, ain't got a 0.002" feeler left in my set... but my other K-17-4, bought from Jim Supica "probably never fired" (until I got it) BC gap on that feels 0.003" my K-48-3 in 22 WMR, it feels 0.004" 0.006 seems a tad loose for the rimfires some folks say 0.002" min to 0.004" max for STATIC...

thanks (you would be surprised at what some people on some other gun forums will suggest, so had to say that)

not long ago noticed S&W does sell them on their website again nice, but not cheap

nice picture of my no-dash snubbie (your #2) there mine came w/ same grips, plus the small walnut grips, bough NIB many years ago, still looks just like that ! ("tastes great, less filling")

second of my k-17s bought not long ago, used but really nice no visible light seen when held "rightly" sideways to bright sky, no gap on 5 of 6 holes, only a hint of gap on hole 6 awesome accurate, real nice trigger (of course, as expected) no hint that I can feel of cylinder drag when CLEAN...
