"The S&W 617: Masterpiece of Fun" by Nutnfancy
Nutnfancy reviews the Smith & Wesson 617, a .22LR revolver that mimics the feel and ergonomics of its .357 Magnum counterpart, the S&W 686. The video highlights the 617 as an excellent and affordable training tool for practicing double-action trigger pull, reloads, and fast shooting. It also touches on its potential as a 'critter getter' due to its ability to fire various .22LR loads, including subsonics. The reviewer praises its K-frame size, Hogue grips, sights, and balance, finding it superior to some Taurus and Ruger competitors. The 10-round capacity is a key feature, and the review also features the DS-10 Speed Loaders as a way to enhance practice. Reliability is noted as outstanding, with only expected cylinder locking when heavily fouled. The S&W 617 is described as a "Masterpiece of form, function, and FUN."
