[QUOTE="JRR, post: 4334193, member: 43158"] I've owned every variant of the 617 S&W has made. All were excellent 22 shooters, but... none were as accurate as my model 17. My model 17, I will never sell. Though it was the most accurate 22 ever made! Until I bought this, Colt Frontier Scout, 9.5" made 1958. This revolver has the best "point and shoot" ability of any 22 I've ever owned. I bring it up to about 6" above waist height, cock and shoot. At 7 yard steel plates, 6" round, I knock all 6 plates down. My buddy watched me do this repeatedly and he tried it with the same results. Yes you can look down the sights and hit the target but point and shoot is way more fun. I think that's how old time gun fights were won. This Colt, I will never sell. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
