Classic Target Revolver for Collectors and Shooters

The Smith & Wesson Model 17 remains a benchmark for precision .22 target revolvers, prized by collectors and practical shooters for its balance, crisp trigger, and old-world fit and finish. Whether evaluating pieces for a collection or seeking a refined plinker for deliberate range work, provenance and condition matter as much as mechanical performance.

SMITH & WESSON 17 (K-22 MASTERPIECE)

The Model 17 K-22 Masterpiece offered here is chambered in .22 Long Rifle and fitted with a 6″ barrel — a configuration that blends sight radius and handling for deliberate, repeatable accuracy. The deep blue finish and factory-style target grips reflect factory presentation, while the bore is noted as bright with sharp rifling, favorable for consistent groups and longevity.

Why the .22 Long Rifle Matters

The .22 LR caliber is ideal for target work, low-cost training, and developing sighting fundamentals. Its minimal recoil and low noise allow the shooter to focus on trigger control and follow-through; paired with the Model 17’s tight, smooth action and crisp single- and double-action trigger, the platform is well-suited to precision shooting and extended range sessions without shooter fatigue.

Collector Value and Provenance

Factory Letter and Original Box

This revolver includes a letter from the Smith & Wesson Historian documenting origin and production history, plus the factory cardboard box and a soft padded case for transport. Those elements materially increase collector value and provide clear provenance for future resale or display.

Condition and Mechanical Notes

Cosmetically the revolver shows only minor signs of use: deep, even bluing, minimal grip wear, and a tight action with crisp triggers in both modes. These traits make it both a fine shooter and a desirable addition to any Smith & Wesson lineup. The asking price is $1,200.99, reflecting condition and included documentation.
