Smith and Wesson 17-8 Sold
Description: S&W Model 17-8 10 shot cylinder. Gun is in very good to excellent shape. Adjustable rear sight and fixed front. Gun appears to have been used very little. The Model 17 has an adjustable rear sight and a pinned Patridge style front sight. It was designed as a target revolver and could be ordered in the 1960's from S&W with "The Three T's" : Target Trigger, Target Hammer and Target Grips. Standard barrel lengths were 4", 6" and 8 3/8". The 4" model 17-6 is infrequently seen, as S&W produced the almost identical, 4" barreled Model 18. The Model 18 was a Model 17 copy- except the 4" barrel was tapered whereas the Model 17's 4" barrel was not.[2] In 1990, S&W also shipped the Model 17 featuring a 4", 6" or 8 3/8" full under lug barrel. The "under lug" was a solid, blued steel, circular rod, cast as part of the barrel, and running under the barrel from the front of the cylinder yoke to the muzzle's end. The under lug not only enclosed the ejector rod, it also added considerable weight to the gun itself. The under lug model shipped with a special round-butt wood grip that featured inletted finger grooves. The 4" Model 17 Under Lug is infrequently seen and quite possibly manufactured as an afterthought using factory shortened 6" or 8 3/8" under lug barrels.
