OK, the saga of the model 17. Last tues evening, got my new to me mod 17. Slow fire "with 5 or 10 rds load" ok load up. "is the line ready?" targets turn. get into position, take aim......fire, look through scope...10 take aim.....fire, 10 take aim again....fire,8 then a 7 then a...

For centerfire and 45 I'm all set. Shooting a Mod. 27 6 Inch 38 Spl. for centerfire and my attempt at distinuished Revo. A Mod 25 6 inch for 45. The Mod 17 6 inch barrel, coming my way on monday will hopefully round out the trio. Had a nice day yesterday. Shot my first outdoor 2700. The weather was ...

In the past week I purchased a used Mod.17 from the internet. It should arrive monday, and with any luck I'll shoot it at our weekly match on Tues. I changed the grips in the 617 to the factory magnas and a tyler T grip. Well i shot my highest score yet. When i borrowed the Mod 17 from a friend the ...

Distinuished revolver is my goal. For centerfire I'm shooting a model 27 and for 45, a mod 25. both with 6 inch barrels, and my scores with both those revolvers are ok. My problem is with the 22. My scores with the 617 that has a 4 inch barrel are dismal. I borrowed a Mod. 17 with a 6 inch barrel an...

Have decided to go old school for bullseye. The question is, i'm currently using a S&W 617 with a 4 inch barrel, and an not happy with the results. Last week i borrowed a friends Mod.17 with a 6 in. bbl and gained 50 points. I know that longer sight radius helps when using iron sights. So going ...
