I didn't even think about that but I just received my 617 I bought on GunBroker today 6-17-21

Here's my -1. It's one of my favorites.

Never crossed my mind, till now.
Here is my 617-4. Very accurate. Great revolver.

Well I'll have to add mine to the mix. Sorry I don't have a pic by itself so please ignore the 17-6.

I really like 617's. Pic is a repost and doesn't include my 4" no dash or -4's but these are little more scarce.
First pic are 6 shot and second are 10...

Happy 617 Day "Late"

Here's my dash-6. It's fun shooter after I resolved the gawd-awful trigger pull it left the factory with.

Here are my two no-dash models. I replaced both guns' rear sights with Milletts and installed a target trigger and hammer in the four-inch.

What all did you do to resolve the "gawd-awful" trigger pull??
The SA trigger pull on mine is 5 pounds! It doesn't really feel that heavy!

My DA pull was extremely heavy and the SA pull was stiff as well, pretty much as you described. It was a trigger pull only a liability lawyer could love.

I ended up changing the mainspring with a Wolff standard power Power-Rib spring. To get good reliability with ignition, I got a long mainspring screw from Wolff and ground it down the amount that corresponded to the length of the factory original screw plus the depth of the rib in the new mainspring.

While I was in there, I put in a 12-pound rebound spring. Since I had the rebound slide out, I polished the sides of the slide with a stone. Then I did some lubing of the internals.

The results have been great. Both DA and SA pulls are excellent. Ignition reliability is good, with the occasional misfire that isn't out of the ordinary with .22 ammo.

Thank you so much for all your information! I will probably be taking the same route you have!
Thanks again!
