Well, I finally got to pick up my 17-4 today. It has an 8 3/8 barrel and the larger target stocks. Trigger and hammer are the narrower ones (at least narrower than the very wide trigger/hammer on my 27-2). The long barrel balances very well for me. The large grips fit my hands very well too. I didn't really shoot for groups. Just plinking at one of those pendulum metal targets. Seems very accurate and the trigger is GREAT, both in single and double action. Finish is in good shape, has a couple of small scratches, but that is OK. This will not be a safe queen. Here is a picture of my new toy:
I have been wanting one for a while, and vowed not to let another slip by. I paid what they were asking - $280 which I think was fair. Still on the lookout for a 6" model to go with it.
