Description
The Smith & Wesson Model 317 Kit Gun is a lightweight eight-shot .22 LR double-action/single-action revolver built on the iconic J-Frame small platform. This Kit Gun pairs a 3″ stainless steel barrel with an aluminum alloy frame and cylinder, producing a remarkably light revolver that tips the scales at just 11.70 oz while maintaining the durability Smith & Wesson revolvers are known for.
Both the barrel and cylinder wear a matte silver finish that resists corrosion and glare. The exposed hammer allows the shooter to cock the gun for precise single-action trigger pulls, while the double-action trigger provides a smooth, controlled pull for rapid follow-up shots. The aluminum cylinder holds 8 rounds of .22 LR, making the 317 an excellent choice for plinking, small game hunting, and introductory personal-protection training.
Aiming is fast and intuitive thanks to a HiViz green fiber optic front sight paired with an adjustable rear sight, delivering excellent visibility in a wide range of lighting conditions. The black finger-grooved synthetic grip offers a secure, ergonomic hold for shooters of all hand sizes. At an overall length of 7.20″, the 317 Kit Gun balances concealability with shootability.
This *CA Compliant variant is configured for sale in California and meets the state’s requirements. Designed for personal protection and sport shooting, the Model 317 combines Smith & Wesson’s legendary J-Frame reliability with the easy-shooting, low-recoil characteristics of the .22 LR cartridge.
