The Taurus 17 Tracker is a purpose-built rimfire revolver designed for plinking, small game hunting, and training. Its 6.5-inch barrel provides excellent sight radius and velocity, making it a consistent performer on the range. We’ve stocked this model since Q4 2025, and it’s become a frequent repeat purchase for our customers who appreciate its reliability and value.

Q & A
Is the Taurus 17 Tracker suitable for a beginner?
Yes, with important considerations. The .17 HMR cartridge has minimal recoil, making it manageable. However, its high velocity and flat trajectory require a firm understanding of firearm safety and longer-range shooting fundamentals. It’s an excellent training tool for moving up from .22 LR.
What is the primary use for this revolver?
Its design excels in two areas: varmint control at modest ranges and precision rimfire target shooting. The adjustable sights and long barrel make it capable of taking small game like prairie dogs or rabbits, and it’s a cost-effective way to practice revolver mechanics.
How does the .17 HMR perform from a revolver?
You will experience some velocity loss compared to a rifle due to cylinder gap, but the 6.5-inch barrel helps mitigate this. The cartridge remains highly effective and accurate within typical handgun ranges. Consistent, quality ammunition is key to maintaining its performance advantages.
