Help me pull the trigger 617-1 4"

[Bluecrush]

I looked at a 617-1 4" at my. LGS. It's in vg to ex condition. $600 out the door. I have it on hold. Is this a good buy?

Thanks in advance

Most sought after barrel length. A steal, especially if it's a 10-shooter.

Forgot it's a 6 shot.

What kind of grips? It's a good price. Especially now. Also, the 10 shot version while popular, is not as good looking or as "classic" in the opinion of many.

I don't know if they are original. I believe they are guncalo checkered target stocks.

Got ammo for it?

Take a good look on Gunbroker and see what they go for, at $600 I would have already bought it

Yes, it's a good buy. I believe the original grips would have been Hogue rubber.

Bonus....!

10 shooters belong on autos... sorry.

Yes, you can shoot longer, but 6 shots are traditional and for training purposes gives a more realistic environment when compared to traditional centerfire models of similar size.

Buy it and enjoy it, it's one of the best looking and shooting modern .22lr revolvers you can find (except the blued version, the M17-6 or even better the M17-7).

Enjoy

Wise move putting it on hold. Now get in there and finish the deal! The best price I have seen on a new one is $670 and that was before the insanity started. Plus a -1 will not have a lock, thereby making it worth a few extra bucks. The 4" versions are a little more difficult to find than the 6", and in my opinion the 4" balances better than the 6". There is no downside to this gun.

What? They allow handguns in Hawaii??????????

Buy the gun. How much fun can you have counting $600 bucks in your checking account??

Yes buy it. You will not find a better deal so don't be that guy. I bought my 4" 617-1 with combat wood grips for $600 and it was d & t, square butt. Good luck finding another and 22 ammo if you don't have any.
