After thinking about doing this many times over I believe it is time now to introduce you to my family. As is the tradition I will begin with the youngest member which is a Smith & Wesson Model 17-3. This gun feels right at home in the family punching holes in 1.5" at 50 yards which is the minimum level of performance guaranteed by Smith & Wesson.
Connoisseurs and Smith & Wesson collectors will note that it is a pinned and recessed gun with target trigger and target hammer. The model 17 has always been the top of line as far as .22 revolvers are concerned and much as I am aware there are only 2 other guns from Smith in .22 LR which command a higher value.
The gun shoots just as well as it looks (the bore is pristine) and I hope to post some groupings as well.
I hope you enjoy meeting Mr. Smith.
(Mods - There will be some rifles coming up next. Please move this post if this is not the relevant section.
