It seemed about time to write up a fun and practical handgun review. This Smith & Wesson Model 317 brings me back to the days when my dad would take my brother and I out to shoot his .22 rifles. During one such excursion, when I was about 14, we got a chance to shoot the one handgun my dad owned: a Smith & Wesson Model 1953 22/32 Kit Gun.
