Sorry safe queens, not a collectors guns, but a one that will see a lot of shooting. I was on my home-almost did not stop-past a local shop. Thought, what the hell-it's early, I'll stop by.
Lo and behold, in the 22 case what do I see sandwiched between a pair of crappy Taurus's? A 617 10 shot 4". WOOT! As you are reading this, I have taken the lock out. Now for a new green fiber front and time to do some plinking. Cannot wait to shoot some weekend steel matches with it.

Sweet.
I picked up an old K22 but I only shot it once or twice in the three years I owned it   . I have to drag it out.

My six inch 617 is probably my favorite of my revolvers and probably one of my favorite handguns in general... BUT the extra two inches of steel really begins to get heavy after a couple of hours of hiking around the property. I'd LOVE one of these four inchers as well, that looks like a FANTASTIC piece! Congrats.

Love my 4" 617. Great shooter.
Shoots great groups with CCI STD velocity. I put a Wolff reduced power mainspring in mine. Smoothed it out a bit.

I have kind of felt that way in the past but I have 4" 18-4 that sits in the safe and never gets taken out - it has been several years now and I'm thinking of selling it and picking up another 19 or 66. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I think a 22LR revolver is alotta fun and still relatively cheap to shoot. I still need a K frame to go with my 63 no dash. That J frame is nice and light though. |

Nice snag on that 617.
I bought mine a couple of years ago or so, and even then it was almost impossible to find it in 4". I really didn't want the 6" because I had shot one and didn't like the muzzle heavy feel. I was patient and watched the online sites and finally found one at Buds which I grabbed immediately. To a man, everyone whom I've let shoot mine have gone out in search of their own. |

God I love shooting it. It's a blast pranging away at steel. |

Nice, sounds like you had a great time.
And this thread is a good luck charm, I finally found myself a K frame 22 a couple days ago. 1952 pre-model 17 6", original grips. 
I might have to cave on a new 6" 617 for sale locally. Kinda wish it was a 4" like yours though, full underlug 6" in a .22 might be a bit overkill. |

Love my revolvers, have a mod 17-3, and a mod 18-5. Not as sexy as the mod 41's, but great to shoot. My 17 stays out when I am at the farm, looking for snakes and such.....
