Thank you. Love your content! I have owned two of the 351pds….. I want to carry and practice. I had issues with the cylinder not closing without forcing while shooting. Love the grip. Sold my second one when it came back from repair. I now have a 351C. Better sights. Great pocket carry. So far only 50 rounds in but that’s more than the other made it. Love the concept of these and I am a believer in SW ….
Got one a couple of weeks ago, about 300 rounds through it. Put a drop of blue locktite on screw holding cylinder open button. I was lucky and found mine on the ground at the range! I have not carried my other options since !
I love my 351c. I’ve trained with it in a couple classes now. It serves me well as my “around the house” gun and rides comfortably in a Mika’s custom leather pocket holster. One of my favorite guns!
Changed the springs to my 43c #9 hammer #11 rebound ,fires on all ammo now .same trigger pull as the 642 now “just about” sent it back to the mothership they sent it back to me doing the same thing misfiring on a few rounds. I changed the springs and haven’t had a misfire since knock on wood.
Carry mine in a Galco shoulder holster while working on the property. Makes a good tractor gun. Added Crimson Trace laser grips- green. Very accurate. Have some sub caliber inserts from the 80's and I can fire 22lr. If your fingers are too dainty and the trigger pull bothers you, get a squeeze ball and work out. You need this revolver.
Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts. As to hand strength, balls and wishbone devices help build strength, but reinforce bad grip and trigger habits. I prefer something more like the Pro Hands finger exerciser. That way one can build strength and separate the trigger finger movement from the gripping fingers.
I have this and find it very handy. I bought 10 round speed strips and carry those with me for reload. I also have 2 Speed Beez speed loaders with reload box and makes it handy for the range. Thanks
Thanks for the review. Now I know I don't want one. S&W seems to have some across-the-board problems with j-frame sights hitting anywhere near point of aim.
I'll be working with a number of different .22WMR ammo types to see what works best with this gun and I can work some magic on the trigger, but this is another example of the decline in S&W quality control. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching. I just finished some chronograph testing with this gun to look at decent self defense ammo. That video should air in the next couple weeks.
Have the 351c and I love it, the trigger gets a bit smoother with use, it is is heavy but the big white dot sight for some reason is very accurate for me! I'm surprised how accurate it is! Also the double action only 351c doesn't have the Hillary hole, another plus!
The lightest revolver I own. Actually, the lightest gun I own. I can't believe how much it cost. I also can't believe how I bought it anyway. Put another $100 bill with it and you can buy a pretty nice pinned and recessed revolver from the '70s. I still like it anyway.
I can work on the trigger and I can get used to the different sight picture. It will never be a tack driver, but it will work okay for carrying around the "ranch". Thanks once again for watching and commenting.
Yes, the trigger is a little on the heavy side, though I plan to work on that. The NAA pistols are all single action with very small grips, making them not very viable for personal defense. But to each his or her own. Thanks for watching.
Winchester Silvertip .22WMR results from my LabRadar test: (all velocities are average of 5 shots) 1,087fps out of the 2" 351PD; 1,447fps out of a Walther WMP 4.5"; 1,911fps out of a Henry Pump 20.5". That equates to 105 ft lbs of energy out of that little 7-shot light weight revolver. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I have one of these is it super light but the trigger is over hard and if you try to lighten it you have FTF all the time. But rim fire guns usually do have a heavier trigger pull. With the MSRP of over $700 you would think it would be better. Dear S&W please bring back the Night Guard series.
Yeah, we own the Taurus 942 in .22wmr, and the double action trigger is a bear, the single action pretty decent...we looked at this gun, and the Ruger lcrx, bought the Taurus at half the price...carried the gun for a while, it now part of the HD arsenal...
I really like the looks of this revolver. Looking forward to future videos of it to see if you're able to get the trigger issues worked out. Thanks RR.
Great review Rider. Nice score.
Two years of waiting for the right opportunity. The trigger is disappointing, but I can work on that. Thanks for watching.

Thanks RR. Great job. Good info. God bless. Happy trails.
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the review. This revolver has been on my wish list for a while.
Thank you for watching.
I have the 351c and it's so incredibly lightweight its kind of hard to remember you are carrying it.
I'm with you. Thanks for watching.
I like the look of that revolver,,,,

It's good to "hear" from you. Thanks for watching.
I have one and really like it. I use it as an ankle tool while working.
I have one of these and Speed Bees speedloaders for it. and what a lovely little gun it is. great for the sweatpants lifestyle.
At around 12 ounces loaded, it is easy to pocket carry. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the video.

Nice looking gun, and review. Would like it in just a .22 rim fire. Didn't know they even made this one....good review sir.
Have you looked at the Smith 43C or 317? Great little guns in .22LR. Thanks for watching.
I have this and find it very handy. I bought 10 round speed strips and carry those with me for reload. I also have 2 Speed Beez speed loaders with reload box and makes it handy for the range. Thanks
I like SpeedBeez loaders. Thanks for watching and adding your thoughts.

Hard trigger pull because the hammer needs to hit the rim harder than center fire.
That may be part of the reason, but Smith triggers aren't what they used to be. Thanks for watching.
Seems to be a good weapon for a guy me left shoulder replacement left shooter thanks

Nice lookin
Thanks for watching.
My comment disappeared again. I said, I wouldn’t mind carrying a 13 ounce 7 round revolver. 👍👍👍💥
One never knows what Google/RUclips does with some comments.
You will love it
An interesting gun, but a lousy trigger and inaccurate? Not my cup of tea, but each their own. Glad you found something you’d been after. 👍🏻

Trigger is Rediculous!!! -Rather carry a NAA 22 Mag mini as a Back-up -to my Sig 9mm or occasional solo carry the NAA

Ton of noise, ton of flash, ton of cost to shoot magnum out of a 2" barrel and lose 700 FPS.

I spent a lot of time inside S&W revolvers "back in the day", so I'm sure I can get the trigger to work better. Thanks for watching.
