RJM: I have a Smith & Wesson 4" Model 63 revolver that shoots the "new" (100 round 40 grain plastic packs) rather well - not much "range work" with it nowadays but I carry it a lot on Grouse and small game ventures. When in rattle snake country I load it with bird shot rounds.
Nice shooting there at 10 yards!
I am going to look up what a S&W Model 317 is - thanks for your input.

P.S.: Looked it up and I see that it now can be had in 8 shot variation and has "high-vis" sights - handsome pistol and I bet VERY useful afield.
I do not admire the lawyer lock though.
Enjoy your nifty piece!
