This Smith & Wesson Model 17-3 K-22 Target Revolver in .22 Long Rifle, manufactured by Smith & Wesson in Springfield, Massachusetts. The serial number 14K7624 confirms production around 1970, as S&W’s K-frame revolvers with “K” prefix serial numbers in this range align with that period. Introduced in 1947 as the K-22 Masterpiece and designated Model 17 in 1957, this revolver is renowned for its precision and reliability, designed for bullseye target shooting and small game hunting. The .22 LR cartridge offers affordability and accuracy, ideal for NRA Precision Pistol competitions and recreational shooting. Its historical significance lies in its status as a flagship rimfire revolver on S&W’s medium K-frame, alongside the K-32 and K-38 Masterpiece models, celebrated for their superior craftsmanship and smooth action.

This example is in very fine condition, retaining 98% of its original blued finish with only light finish loss at the front sight, indicating minimal use and careful maintenance. The 6" barrel features a bright bore, and the adjustable sights, case-colored target hammer, and trigger ensure precision shooting. The checkered walnut service grips with S&W monograms have a small repaired chip at the heel, adding character without compromising function. The action is fine, with a crisp double-action/single-action pull, and the revolver is mechanically excellent, ready for shooting or display. The numbers-matching box with full label is in very good condition, with some spotting, enhancing its collectible value. All markings, including “S&W” and “.22 LONG RIFLE CTG” on the barrel, are crisp and legible.
