SMITH & WESSON 17-3

Product Information & Specs

Seller Description For This Firearm

REVOLVER: SMITH & WESSON MODEL 17-3, SERIAL NUMBER 46723, BLACK (MATTE), YES - INCLUDES ORIGINAL BOX AND PAPERS, DOUBLE ACTION, 22 LONG (22L), 8 3/8

Notes:
This is a classic Smith & Wesson Model 17-3 (K-22 Masterpiece), a highly regarded target revolver built on the medium K-frame. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it features an 8 3/8" pinned barrel with a rib, making it ideal for precision target shooting, plinking, or small game.
Key Features & Condition:

Caliber: .22 LR (6-shot fluted cylinder with recessed chambers)
Barrel: 8 3/8" pinned barrel marked ".22 LONG RIFLE CTG." and "SMITH & WESSON"
Sights: Patridge-style front sight on a raised ramp; fully adjustable micrometer-click rear sight
Action: Smooth double/single-action with target-style hammer and trigger
Grips: Checkered walnut target/Magna-style grips with S&W gold medallions — excellent fit and finish
Finish: Original blued steel with strong remaining finish, bright bore, and crisp rifling (light handling marks consistent with age/use)
Serial Number: Matches the original box (approx. 12K range, circa mid-1970s production)

The revolver shows very good to excellent overall condition for its age — clean lines, tight lockup, and that legendary S&W smoothness. It includes the original matching blue S&W box (with labels, some wear/tape from storage, but intact and complete).
The Model 17-3 is a direct descendant of the pre-war K-22 Masterpiece series — prized by collectors and shooters for its accuracy, balance, and timeless American craftsmanship. These longer-barrel variants are especially sought after for their sight radius and stability.
Perfect for collectors, target enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a piece of S&W history that’s still a joy to shoot today.

PEACE OF MIND
PEACE OF MIND

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction.  And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process.  We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it.  We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store.  And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process.  We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.


WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES

Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community.  Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state.  At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible.  That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.


WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE

Most everything can be easily bought online these days.  But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated.  Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want.  Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice.  Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
