From the Vault: Smith & Wesson Model 17 Snub Nose

Today, Brownells Gun Tech™ Steve Ostrem shows us a unique revolver: a snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 17. The Model 17 is S&W's long-running .22 LR K-frame target revolver, which usually comes from the factory with a 6" or 8-3/8" barrel. Steve transplanted a .38 Special Model 15 snubbie barrel and installed a .22 rimfire liner. He got the idea from a gun he saw in a museum. Built by Smith & Wesson for the Air Force, it was a prototype for a .22 caliber training variant of the aluminum alloy snub-nosed .38 Special revolvers issued to aircrews in the 1950s. Or at least that's the story! Steve built his snubbie Model 17 for training as well. If you practice enough to land your shots accurately and consistently with the snub-nose's short sight radius, then shooting well with a longer barrel becomes very easy. (OK, the gun also has a heckuva Coolness Factor!) Have you ever seen a snub-nosed .22 revolver like Steve's? Tell us about it in the comments below. Want more FTV with Uncle Steve?
