I inherited the model 17 with the 3 Ts from my dad a few years ago. He bought it from a guy that was liquidating his father in law's collection. I haven’t had the chance to actually shoot it much and even then nothing more than a few minutes plinking with it. I’ve often wished it was a six inch. The other day I was holding it along with my full lugged 617 with a 4 inch barrel. It was only slightly more nose heavy and actually holds quite nicely. Maybe once I can devote some serious range time to it I might be glad it has that long barrel. At least I can see the iron sights pretty well.
