The Smith & Wesson Model 617 is a full-size, L-frame .22 LR revolver built for serious range work, skill development, and affordable high-volume shooting. Its 10-round cylinder, 6-inch barrel, and target-grade sights make it an ideal training analog for centerfire revolvers, as well as a capable rimfire competition platform in its own right. Built to the same standards as S&W’s duty-grade revolvers, the 617 delivers the feel of a full-size Smith with the economics of .22 LR.
