I used to have one with a 3 inch barrel.
Like an idiot, I traded it off about 8 years back.
I picked up my 317 used for a lite weight 8 shot pocket revolver. You can’t beat a J frame.
Google it!
why doesn’t gun websites leave the first comment?
any info on the 43c would be awesome thanks for the great videos
nice bob job on the hammer ! that model is a real zombie stopper too
I don’t know for sure if they still make it, but it is on the smith site.
Thy still sale it? And what’s the $ on it now
lol@"great video"….brought to you by Jed & Bubba fixin to learn ya
I purchased a 317 back in 2003. The only problem I have with mine is ejecting the spent casings. The brass expands of course and it’s sort of a bugger trying to remove them. I’ve heard this was a problem with others who owned 317s back in that time when I purchased it.
it wasn’t a plinker for the last guy
evidently not
$?
Has anyone tried to get a shipping label from S+W I’ve waited over a month with 4 phone calls.
The aluminum cylinder expands and causes binding and hard extraction. I wish they would have lined the cylinder or just made the cylinder like the LCR.
more better?
I have the ten shot 617 but have never seen this before. All aluminum .22 how cool is that?
The S&W 317 is a nice gun if you want to carry 22LR for concealed carry. But if you want a nice, little, light weight revolver in 22LR for basic target and trail use I think the S&W 317 Kit Gun is a better choice.
Cool little gun!
nice .22lr why remove the spur if its only a plinker ?
When I took my CCW class I didn’t have a .22 revolver, so I had to use one of these that belonged to the instructor. I did not care for it. Was not as accurate as I would have liked. My auto groupings were a lot tighter then this
I’ve had my S&W 317 since 2009 and love it !!
Thats a sweet gun. Love the way it ejects the spent casings.
Dat ar in the background .
perfect little gun for older people that have weak or bad hands. happens when you get old
This revolver would be really cool with a 4" barrel, in my opinion.
Once you bob the hammer you have pretty much ruined the gun for a lot of people. .22 revolvers are notorious for having heavy trigger pulls because the rimfire ammo needs a harder hit to be reliable. If you bob the hammer then people with weaker hands (like kids) can’t shoot the gun. That’s why DAO .22 revolvers are usually not good for kids. Oh well, not much you can do about it now. But I’d never do that to a revolver for kids. Always leave shooters the option if it isn’t going to be carried.
How did you like it? I have the 3" barrel model of that gun.
Wow, .22 sounds a lot louder from a short barrel.
shit that is a long name might as well gone and named it the thesupercalafragalisticexpialadoshus gun channel.
a friend of mine has one and we can hardly stand shooting the thing. its bone stock without trigger work and I swear it has like a 10 pound or heavier trigger pull. my friend is a girl who doesnt have the most experience in the world so just hand strength and experience alone she can hardly shoot more than a couple of cylinders. as for me, it is the worst trigger pull of any gun i have ever fired. its not my gun otherwise i would do some tweaking to it, but that has been my experience with it.
