The M1917 revolver is a six-shot, double-action revolver chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. It was originally made by Colt and Smith & Wesson during World War I for the US Army to supplement the standard issue M1911 pistol.
Smith & Wesson produced approximately 163,000 of these revolvers between 1917 and 1919. They have a four-inch barrel and a smooth, non-fluted cylinder. The gun also has a lanyard ring at the base of the grip and a checkered walnut grip.
The M1917 has a strong reputation for reliability and durability due to its simple design and construction. It served with the US Army through World War II and saw use by US allies such as Britain and the Soviet Union. It was also used by US civilian law enforcement agencies and private citizens.
Today, the M1917 revolver is highly sought after by collectors and aficionados of vintage firearms.
