Any thoughts on the Model 317
I'm looking for a plinker that is cheap to feed. I'm looking at a pre lock 3" model 317. She looks like a fun little plinker.

That picture was right after I got it a couple years ago. Mine shoots good and the trigger is decent, just a little heavier pull that a mod 17.

I'm just mess'n with you. On this one I will change out the mainspring(hammer spring) to a 8 or 8.5lb. That should fix the hard da trigger pull.

Jim, that may indeed reduce the trigger pull, but it may also cause mis-fires.... I've never owned, but I have shot one of the first 317's.... all I can say is I'm not selling any of my K-22's to get one.... Hope you have better luck with yours than I had with the one that I shot....Jim said:Doublesharp

Hi Drew
I agree it's not a K-22. To me it's a very light weight plinker. I can fix the hard trigger issues. If I get a lot of miss fires from light strikes. I can always go back to the factory spring weight. If worse comes to worse. I will send it back to S&W. For me it will just me a range toy and plinker. They are what they are.
Some guys love them some hate them. Time will tell I got a good one. With the light weight of the revolver. They take some getting used to the DA trigger pull. The ones I have shot all have been very accurate.
