I've had a pretty good day as well

My new-to-me, 4-inch Smith & Wesson Model 617-1 arrived today, right on schedule!

Although it says "SB" on the box, I didn't really think it was a square butt frame with its CBRxxx serial number, and it isn't one; it's as round as my rear end. :-D

That's OK with me; I'm used to the Hogues on my 617-0, plus I actually like black 'rubber' grips on stainless steel DA revolvers. :-)

This evening I'll detail clean and lube it, and if all goes well, tomorrow I'll punch a few cans with it.

SWEET!

I especially love that Patridge front sight. How soon do you think you'll have that DA properly broken in? 5000 rounds or so?

Only 5000?

Actually, I'm afraid a case of .22 Long Rifle ammo is probably 'worth' more than the gun on today's market...

:-D

That estimate...

by Glen, Wednesday, March 06, 2013, 22:42 (4225 days ago) @ FOG

...was for the BREAK IN, not the break down..... ;-)

That is a dandy FOG.

by Murphy @, Wednesday, March 06, 2013, 22:53 (4225 days ago) @ FOG

Who knew? Guess like so many other guns that we all figured would be in the S&W line up. That 617 wiht a 4" barrel is a highly sought after one. I always looked at that one as the perfect companion to the 686 L frame.

Thanks, Murphy

I think you're right about the 686 match.

I also think the 5-inch N-frame is analogous to the 4-inch K-frame, so a 5-inch 629 would compliment it nicely.

The 617, I mean... [*GLOAT*]

:-D
