The answer in short is yes.  Hope you've got plenty of money as they are NOT inexpensive.  New or used they can be very expensive, $670 to $759 in stores.
On the bright side ammo is cheap.

Here's a 63 up for auction this week.

It's currently got a $325 high bid, but will probably go for >$600.

I own a S&W 617 and love to shoot this gun. It was not cheap and it's not quite the same as the 63 but it always shoots and it's always accurate. I love to plink and practice with .22. Just for aim. My carry is a 9mm xd and just might move to the .45 trp. Looking for a good holster to cover the .45 in my backpack.

You will love this .22.

Alf, the 617 would be a K frame

Sorry, you are of course right, Majer. 

I'd say typo, but I just wasn't thinking straight when I typed that.

I think they're well priced compared with what you see on-line.
