I wish this ad for the 617 was posted this year! If you didn't sell it and still want to, I would love to grab it from you.
Taurus 617 - the gun S&W should copy - $400 shpd
I'm offering up my 617 for sale for $400 shipped thru Ship My Gun. These guns are from the Tracker series, which offers a truly unique revolver configuration - L frame cylinder in a K frame with a J frame sized grip. Really, the grip is a bit bigger than a J frame, but certainly smaller than a K.
The result is a 28oz 7 shot .357 that can be pocket carried.
It is not cut for them, but S&W 7 shot 686 Moon Clips fit the gun perfectly, so it could be a great NY reload paired with a 686 snubbie cut for moon clips.
I purchased this one as a factory refurb, and it has been flawless for the 200 or so rounds I've run thru it, mostly .38 SPL. The trigger is not as precise as a Smith, but it's not bad at all. I painted the front sight with orange paint for increased visibility.
Preferred payment is paypal F&F or you pay the 3% extra. Check or money order also ok. First "I'll take it" gets it, please follow up by PM. I don't post here all that much, but I'm on the S&W forum a lot more and you can see my presence there. I'm also happy to talk on the phone or text if it makes you more comfortable with the transaction.
The first two pics show it next to a J frame for reference. The last one shows it with I believe a Hogue grip that I cut down. It's ugly but a bit smaller than it was. I'll throw it in if I can find it, but like I said it's ugly. This is an older pic, the gun has a bit more of a turn line now.
