Was looking at the S&W 317 kit gun 22lr. Looks like a nice little lt weight revolver. Would have come in handy when I had a mangy fox chasing me at the wood pile last fall. Jumped on the tractor and was trying to get it with the bucket. That little gun would have been nice to have in the pocket of my carhartts. Anybody have one ?

Smith 317 air weight very nice trap line gun. Just pricey and it's a low production pistol and is hard to find. I wouldn't hesitate

I have shot one , nice gun but not cheap.

A fox chasing you around the wood pile,just turn around and growl at him lol.

^^^ no, he just wanted him to rub his belly

As has been said, they are a bit spendy and not easy to find, probably will need to order one when you decide to go for it.

Like a very good cup of coffee, good gear is one of life's simple pleasures....and when you buy quality "you only cry once"

My brother has one of the early ones. Pre fiber optic sights. It's one of those guns that the price has followed the quality. I like it a lot but he won't give it to me. I think he needs to learn to respect his elders more or something.

My bro ESW has one the new style models. It's the nicest trapline pistol I ever used. If I could find one I would have one to replace my bearcat. It's a solid reliable straight shooting pistol. I wouldn't trade my bearcat for 317. But i will buy one when I can find one. Hard to find and expensive for 22. But you can't go wrong with Smith and Wesson revolver period! The Smith and Wesson kit gun I got I want shoot. Man y'all going make me dig it out. Haven't seen it in months. Time to dig some guns out!

Original model 34 kit gun, nib

Here it is beside model 32-1

Nice guns 2 traps. I wish I could justify keeping guns NIB but cannot justify it. The guns that I have NIB are only that way since I have not had time to shoot them yet.

The 1 7/8 barrel isn't very accurate from the reviews off the S&W owners forums I checked last year.......sooooooo, get the 3".

They only weigh bout 1/2 what a Bearcat does.

You had a pile of wood to grab a pc to stun it with, and didn't ?

Someone may come take your ManCard fella!

I was splitting for my outdoor boiler and most pieces are pretty big. If you can throw big chunks around 30lbs accurately you are more man than I will ever be. Not ready to pull my guts out doing that stuff.A 317 S&W would be easier to use plus it gives me another reason to buy another gun. My mancard says buy another gun.....
