Customer Reviews for Smith & Wesson Model 317 Kit Gun 22 Long Rifle Revolver

Awesome revolver. This is my Grandmother's night stand gun.

Small enough light enough accurate as a six inch barrel even a little elegant . I don't know how long that model has been on the market maybe they should call it the Kit Classic.Love it unconditionally. It will be a forever!

I love this revolver. It is my constant companion, at only 11 oz it is easy to carry. I know it's only a 22 but it holds 8 rounds, if there is a failure to fire just pull the trigger again, no need to fumble with racking the slide to clear and chamber. It's quite accurate with a very nice trigger, 8 rounds into a grapefruit at 12 yards in under 2 seconds. Speed biz reloaders make reloads close to magazine times, and extra rounds convenient to carry. This revolver is always on my person.

Excellent self defense revolver especially for a female. I own two of these. One for my wife and one for my son's fiance. Recommend to be carried with CCI Stinger ammo.

Always wanted this gun, but due to price put it off until Bud's had it at a good price compared to others. No failures or problems after several years of use. It is NOT a plinker that you would shoot 500 rounds through in one sitting without cleaning. .22 ammo is dirty, and long shooting sessions with dirty ammo bind up revolvers, and this is more pronounced in small caliber. I typically put about 50-100 rounds through at a time, seems like more when reloading a revolver, and then give it a quick cleaning and its good to go again. If you want to shoot thousands or rounds between cleanings . . . well that's just wasteful IMO, but tell me where you're getting all the ammo.

Best little 22 lr revolver you can get. Super light weight and a blast to shoot with the 8 round cylinder.

A very well made revolver and surprisingly accurate.
