Source for S&W 1917 Hand Ejector in .45

[Brian Busch]

Looking for a S&W 1917 Hand-Ejector in .45, commercial model. Anyone know any good sources other than Gunsamerica?

I see them once in a while at auctionarms.com and gunbroker.com. They ain't cheap. I've got a Brazilian contract 1917 that I like and they're considerably less than the commercials, if you just want a shooter.
Best of luck.

Smith & Wesson is making the gun as a Sport South exclusive. Find a dealer that deals with this distributor. It is a Performance Center gun so it will set you back about one thousand dollars (give or take a buck or two). Lew Horton (another distributor) is getting another gun that is similar, but the pricing is also about the same.

I think I just bought one

At a pawn shop, it says M1917 on the butt, without any US Government markings. The barrel has an obviously better blueing than the frame and cylinder. And it is a round butt with bee-oo-tiful checkered wooden grips. Now if didn't have the rust pits in the chambers and bore I'd be happier. I didn't even know there was a round-butt 1917. Is it rare?
