You are going to love it. Mine is consistently my favorite gun. Seems to always go with me.
Welcome to the club.
What's your plan for it?
Competition, hunting, plinking?

I figure it will get used mainly as a warm up at the range. However, a number of my gun acquisitions have to do with a modest effort at prepping, and this one could serve to avoid blowing small game to pieces with the big iron on my other hip. I have a Browning Buckmark but am very much into revolver alternatives at this point. I will probably sell the Browning.
Very cool, at_liberty! Have much fun and happiness shooting it.
I have a Buckmark too, but it's staying as the 617's safe-mate.
Birdshooter...those grips are GORgeous!

I to am the new owner of M617-8 4" 10 round which I looked long and hard for a few months on all the usual sites and on GB in particular watched a used M617-? 10 round pre-lock 4" get bid up to over $1000 before I became disgusted and put my quest on hold. The condition of the mentioned gun was fair to good without the original box or other contents. A week later I found exactly what I was waiting for from a dealer who had a shipment of 5 and I believe still has 1 . I also saw one show up today on G.A. for $30 bucks less than I payed at $750 so if your interested act fast as it may be awhile before S&W do another run. I am from Central Oregon and with the exception of 2" ultra lites we don't see any new production Smith revolvers. All good thing come to those who wait I suppose. Good Luck

I assume by now that the "plenty of ammo" statement has been altered to, "I still have a little ammo left." Those K-frame 22s are just plain fun to shoot. If and when 22 ammo returns to the shelf at my LGS, I'm going to go back to shooting mine more and maybe slow down a little with my 32s.

I can't afford to join the 617 club, but I managed to pick up a 10 round cylinder that slid right into my model 17. It's a fun gun to shoot.
