[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 1260904, member: 5168"] The model 17, and its earlier kin have been offered in 4" barrels. Most but not all were pre-war K22's, and one of those in 4" will be costly!!! Other than that there is the K-frame model 45 in .22lr which is a fixed sight version of the 18. So lots of different models, an toy's out there, and if all you can own is four S&W revolvers they should be a 14/K38, 17/K22, 15/67 4" .38spl, an 18 4" .22lr. Lots and lots of tree's have been destroyed over the years as to .38spl "V" .357Mag. I look at it this way, you'll get lots more shooting in, and become a better shooter burning up those .38's, and .22lr's, and similar in approach to the argument over .44spl. "V" .44Mag for most of your shooting needs, to include self defense, the .38spl will handle 95% of task's. Same goes for the little .22lr. In its 4" flavor it makes a great trainer for the 4" .38spl., as well as a great field gun to backup your shotgun, or centerfire rifle to take something for the camp pot. Even in their 6" version's(I'm not including the 617 with lugged barrel) they are light, and easy to pack around. The K38/14 6" loaded for the field with a heavy 158gr to 195gr SWC+P loaded will put a damper on just about anything shot with it. [/QUOTE]
