Model 617, now it's mine

[Wee Hooker]

I thought about putting a dot on mine, but I got the sights set perfectly on it Saturday and don't want to have to re-sight it...although it was fun and wasn't real hard, plus it's an excuse to shoot it more

That's whay everybody needs two. One with open sights and one with a dot or scope......Ok, so everybody need three

Nice 6" 617, I know you're going to love it. I love mine. By the way, I have not expereinced the problem you mentioned with ejecting spent cases.

I actually had an opportunity to make that happen but it would have cost me my 41 and I wasn't ready to give that up. I think I'm going to end up eventually scoping my 41 and just keeping this one as my plinker. I just got my second DS speedloader and another loading block so I can load up 100 at a time now

Got my 4" 617 (no dash) new in '92.
Love it, love it, love it!

I have a 4", 10 shot 617--thousands of rounds through it--no problems--very accurate. NEVER compare a S&W to a Taurus, they are in a different class ! !

Those are beautiful grips. Can you tell us what kind they are and where they can be purchased? Thanks.
