    Galco D.A.O. 104 perfect fit for 617

    The Galco D.A.O. 104 is advertised as the appropriate holster for the S/W 686 4" L frame. On the advice of the S/W forum, I bought one for my 617 4" K frame. The fit was perfect with no looseness. It fit so good that I'm surprised that the slightly larger 686 L frame would fit...

    617 cylinder lock problem

    I've read a few horror tales on line regarding a cylinder lock problem with the 617. Most of the comments are from several years ago. Is this still an issue with this model or has S/W solved the problem? I have a new 617-6 that I haven't fired yet but will do so soon if it EVER stops...

    My new 617 and friends

    I just got my new 617 and added a pair of Ahrends round to square conversion retro combat grips. The 617 joins my 1973 no dash model 36 and a 1977 model 59 semi. 9mm. The service from Terri the "gripseller" on Ebay was excellent. The product speaks for itself.

    .22 Shortage

    What .22LR shortage? Come to Maine. I went to three different dealers today in Western Maine and their shelves were full of .22LR. Maybe Walmart is all out state wide but the private dealers seem to have plenty here.

    Ahrends Retro Combats for the new 617

    I just got a set of Ahrends Retro Combat Grips with the conversion from round butt to square for my new 617. They were a little pricey at $70 but the Moradillo wood and square butt conversion gives the 617 a nice vintage look. With vintage S&W combat grips going for $250 and up, the...

    S&W 617 search is over

    I just bought a new 617. I had a choice between a 4" and 6" barrel. I followed the advice of the good folks on the forum and chose the 4". The feedback was awesome. I paid little more than I wanted to ($750). But in the words of my father the used car dealer....if the customer thinks that...
