S&W 351c

[ronny]

The thread "blued revolvers are prettier than stainless ones" (or something like that) got me to thinking. That's usually a bad thing. Anyway, I wound up with another J-Frame - a 351c .22 Mag.

I've never been a fan of those off-color alloy cylinders, but I guess that's the price you pay for weight savings; and it does do that. This is an AirLite model, btw. Heavy and long trigger, but very smooth. I've decided to like it.

Ronny, you always find a way to rub it in! Can’t tell you how many of those I’ve had on my ‘watch list’ on GB. Never pulled the trigger though. I think it would be the ultimate in Airweights.

I just hope it shoots as good as it projects. I need to find some Hornady Critical Defense ammo, or something comparable. I'm thinking the CCI I have will torch everything within 6' of the muzzle.

Yeah, there are 3 I've researched and that's one of them. The third was a Winchester, forgot the designation.

Very nice Ronny. Is that the one that was at SSP north?

 

[ronny]

Yes, with my old grips.

Yes, with my old grips.

Congrats...I saw it there last Wednesday when they were shipping my 617-1 to a buyer in FL. I was tempted to grab it. I'm glad that it went home with you instead.

 

[ronny]

Well, I certainly appreciate that you passed it up.

It, of course, fits the same holster as my steel 940. But, it makes the 940 feel like an anchor in comparison.

22 mag? that sounds interesting
