What has teh caliber got to do with anything? You think it costs any less to make than any other K frame revolver? Why would it be cheaper? Less material? Less machining? Less labor?
Is a .22LR Revolver worth $670 Dollars?

I'm glad you bought the 617. I've been looking at them as well. I did buy an 18-3 some months ago. Paid a little over $700 otd. I went to the range Fri, Sat, Sun and Monday. Shot at least 1,200 through it, plus a bunch of center fire guns, .38 Special, .45 Colt and .45ACP.
I've been bidding on some 617 and 17s but they all go for $5 over my highest bid. My model 18 has been very accurate. Shooting clay birds on the hillside at 35-40 yards, then busting up the pieces. Not every shot, but often enough. My buddy and I shoot at the same birds to make a little game out of it. It really irritates him when I shoot the small pieces.

I have a couple older Model 17s and a pair of 17-6s but this little 617 always seems to follow me to the range !

My trio of recent S&W .22's - top down, a 5" 63, 4" 617, and 3" 63:
That picture was taken the day after the 3" 63 finally arrived. Within days, it was sporting the '60 Pro' grips I had on order:
That's my latest - a 60 Pro - sporting '60 Pro' grips - how odd! I actually have another set on order for my 5" 63 - on backorder, actually - the $42.97 + s/t + s/h for them from S&W is a bargain others have found now, too.
Yeah, $670 would be a good price for any of the three theses days.
