This "From the Vault" episode features Brownells Gun Tech Steve Ostrem showcasing a custom snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 17 revolver. Unlike typical long-barreled target versions, this unique .22 LR K-frame was modified by transplanting a barrel from a .38 Special Model 15 snubbie and installing a .22 rimfire liner. Inspired by a museum piece, it's presented as a prototype training variant for Air Force aircrews from the 1950s. Steve built his for similar training purposes, emphasizing how mastering accuracy with a short sight radius enhances performance with longer barrels, while also acknowledging its high "Coolness Factor."

The interchangeable barrel system is a significant feature, allowing for easy customization without a gunsmith.
