My K-22 is a ten shot, 6" 617. It replaced a 6" 6 shot 617. Although I'm a S&W revolver fanboy, I don't feel any particular warm fuzzies for the gun or its predecessor. I would much prefer an older 17 or K-22. It's not that big a deal however, just a utility gun for me. I'm afraid if I had one of Varmint Guy's unfired 8 3/8" guns it wouldn't be unfired for long.
I have a 6-shot 6" 617 and it is probably my least favorite handgun. I bought it in 07/01 and probably haven't fired it for over 19 years.
