Yassah, I been lost, but now I's found...

Smith & Wesson 4" (!) Model 617-1 @ GunBroker

The price might seem like a lot for a 617, but I have been looking for one of these what seems like forever, and the 4" prelock versions are virtually never seen under $1000 anymore.

If it's as good as it looks, I'll be lucky to get it, and very happy to have it.

Sometimes, it 'pays' to stay up past bedtime.

PS: Seven other wandering souls looked at it before I did; betcha they're wishin' they hadn't waited...

PPS: Curses, Glen, for starting me on a K-frame binge! (Again.)

I have the same gun and its one of my favorites but for that price it makes me want to sell mine!!! I ha e a thing for K frame .22's

Yep, I can see that. Is it wrong that I can understand? Shot my Outdoorsman yesterday and every shot was pure pleasure.

A SIX SHOT .22 revolver, with no bug holes in the frame, just like they used to be before the engineers and lawyers got involved. VERY nice!

...did I mention that I have the .22 caliber little brother (in the box!) to the 5-screw Combat Masterpiece that I traded you a while back?

Do you see them?

My [*AHEM*] 'gears' are spinning fast enough, that's for sure...

According to my recent surveys, about the same (or less), I'm afraid.

Beyond the Nitty Gritty ('dash number', and so forth), it all depends upon three things:
• CONDITION,
• CONDITION,
• CONDITION

A truly 'NIB' 17 or 18 would perhaps bring a bit more, but probably not a lot.
