Itch scratched. I'm now the proud owner of this S&W 317 Kit Gun pre-lock 22LR. Thanks to a fellow Campfire member. Picked it up from my FFL guy and got out a little last night to try it out. Great little revolver, amazingly lightweight, great trigger and overall workmanship as to be expected from a Smith and Wesson. Wind was howling so a little tough to do a real accuracy assessment but it was easily pop can accurate at 10-15 yards. Which is about all I'm good for anymore. Would like to put the red dot off my 686 on it just for kicks and see what it will really do. Overall impressive little revolver and a lot of fun. Will definitely be in my kit on a regular basis.
