Hi,
I'm trying to decide between the 5-rd and 7-rd 357 revolvers. When doing a search at Bud's Gun Shop, I see that they had listed (at one time, but now out of stock) concealed-hammer 617s in blue (617CHB2) and stainless (617CHSS2).
I've been leaning towards the 617s for the extra capacity, though I'm a bit concerned about concealability vs the 650s. The Taurus site makes no mention of a hamerless 617, as far as I can tell.
Does anyone have any experience with the hammerless 7 rounders? Were they pulled off the market by Taurus? If so, why? Anywhere they can still be found? I'm thinking that a hammerless 7-rd 357 would be the best of all worlds (at least for me).
Thanks in advance for any input. Working nights, so it's off to bed...
John
