The 617 is a nice revolver. I’ve had a chance to shoot a friend’s quite a bit the past year or so. No real recoil, the trigger is smooth and the gun is very accurate.
I never would have thought to use drywall anchors for dry firing! That is an awesome, and inexpensive, solution.
Yeah… I was really impressed with the drywall anchor idea!!
