Model 17 Classics 6-Shot Revolver Masterpiece Cat# 150477 2009 .22LR Target Revolver Looking to capitalize on the success of the .22 long rifle cartridge, Smith & Wesson introduced a new series of K-frame revolvers engineered to answer the needs of target shooters as well as police and military training programs. Offering the fit and feel of the popular .38 M&P Target Revolver, the new revolver presented shooters with an affordable, reliable and lower recoiling handgun.
After gaining momentum from the positive feedback it received from competitive shooters in the 1932 Olympics, the K-22 Masterpiece, or Model 17 as it would later be known, became a popular training aid for law enforcement professionals as well as a preferred small game revolver. Now, collectors and shooters alike have another chance to own their own, brand-new Model 17 as part of the Smith & Wesson Classics line.
Constructed of carbon steel and built on a medium-sized K-frame, this six-shot .22 LR revolver is available with a High Bright Blue finish.

Model 41 Rimfire Single Action Pistol Ergonomic Wood Target Grips Cat# 130512 For competitive target shooting or other recreational purposes, there's no better choice than the Smith & Wesson classic Model 41. Ever popular, this Smith & Wesson has been a favorite for over 50 years, has a 10 + 1 Round 22LR capacity, comes with a 7" Barrel, adjustable sights, blue finish and checkered wood target grips.
Another great feature of this gun is that it is a pleasure and easy to clean; press down on the trigger guard releases the barrel for removal and cleaning. In addition, S&W offers a shorter 5.5" barrel that can be purchased and easily interchanged with the standard 7" barrel. One of the best features of this gun you can switch between barrels in 15 seconds.
Since the barrels are interchangeable, you can have different barrels for different purposes. The pistol is about 1.5 ounces lighter with the longer barrel. The longer sight radius of the 7" barrel increases accuracy potential, while the 5.5" barrel dampens recoil a bit more due to the heavier weight. The Model 41 is ambidextrous with the standard grips. The partridge front sight is easy to see and use.
Many consider the Model 41 to be the finest 22LR available, but the most important thing about this gun is that it is a pleasure to shoot, a pleasure to clean, and a pleasure to own. The Model 41 continues to be the benchmark of the .22 pistol market. No other pistol on the market compares to design, quality, and unmatched accuracy of the 41. This single action pistol is backed by Smith & Wesson's Lifetime Service Policy.

Laser sights for Smith & Wesson handgun and AR-15 type models
The folks at
Smith & Wesson recognize the quality and reliable
Crimson Trace products are also available on the aftermarket to purchasers of many guns and are easily installed by individuals. Crimson Trace makes more laser sights for Smith & Wesson handguns than for any other firearm manufacturer. Guns here that will accept Crimson Trace Lasergrips include the Models 317, 17, 617 and 63.
Also, most all of the Smith & Wesson M&P15 long guns will accept the new MVF 515 Crimson Trace Lasergrip as long as it has a 1913 Picatinny rail.
Crimson Trace just introduced the new MVF-515 Lasergrip, a revolutionary, patent-pending concept that combines three tactical tools into a single, modular package. They began with a rock solid vertical foregrip, then upgraded it with an aiming laser on one side and a dual-intensity tactical light on the other.
The MVF-515 includes Rugged Hard Polymer Grip Panels w/ Hard Anodized 6061-T6 Aircraft Aluminum Tang, Windage and Elevation adjusters and replaceable, 150/200-Lumen LED white light module (rotate to select intensity) with a Power Source of Two CR123 lithium batteries. The Beam intensity is 5mw peak, 633nm, class IIIa laser, the maximum output that federal law and technology allow
The instinctive activation switches are ambidextrous, letting operators select the light or the laser individually, or both simultaneously. Laser and light functions are programmable, so operators can also select from three illumination modes: independent momentary, strobe, or constant-on. The master on/off switch permits complete shutdown of either side. Additional future components can integrate into the robust platform.
