I've had my 351pd for over 10 years now, I love the 22 mag round . Gold Dots and Critical Defense are good performers . It's a fun plinker and rides in my pocket daily. At about 10,000 rounds it needed some work , back to flawless again .
@@078249 I am trying to buy a 351 PD, easier said than done. I prefer the 351 PD because you can shoot it either in Single Action or Double Action. To get around the problem of the Hammer getting caught on something, I plan on having the Hammer Bobbed just enough that I can still pull it for Single Action use. BTW, I'll also use a Crimson Trace Slight to improve overall accuracy from all Shooting Positions! IMO, this will transform the 22 Max into a much more Lethal weapon.
@@bigpapaporsche1 I don't believe the hammer is as big a problem as people think. It's just something to be aware of and train with. Getting one isn't a problem if you can stomach the cost. Buy online and have it shipped to your FFL.
Nice shooting! I am one of those skeptics of the 22 mag in a pistol. Mainly because of tests performed back in the 90s. Your recent tests have changed my mind. I think I should have one of these😁
The Gold Dots are a very reliable expanding bullet out of these revolvers . I've found they expand to about .38 caliber . If you don't have a 22 mag revolver you are missing out on a lot of fun .
22 mag is severely underrated. You are stepping up to a true jacketed bullet and not just a copper wash and depending on the load, picking up a good little jump in velocity in addition to typically being more reliable than the LR Even though that most loads with the exception of the short barrel personal defense loads won't expand from a snubby, they will still penetrate surprisingly well, easily meeting fbi minimum penetration requirements.
My wife has the 43c. It has been reliable-- and super, super easy to conceal carry -- for many years; shoots great. I might get the 22 mag for myself. Great video, as always, Buffalo.
Thanks for another great video. I am a peace officer in Texas and I carry a NAA Pug in my pocket as a SHTF back-up. Don’t underestimate the .22 magnum round. If I gave a bad guy a dose of .22 mag to the face or belly at close range, he would probably rethink continuing his felonious assault on me. Not my primary back-up, but a good deep carry piece. Think I might have to acquire me a new S&W revolver. Keep posting your excellent vids. Stay safe all!!
I just discovered the NAA I like the side winder it's the swing out w/star ejector, I also like the 4" hog leg as a boot gun in the holster hang from the top inside ( CCW). God bless you and Texas
Another well done informative video. I already have the 351 pd and the 43 c Airlite revolvers. Just ordered the 351 c after watching this video. Extremely handy, light weight, every day carry revolvers. Good for close range personal defense, especially if you keep shooting. Far better than a sharp stick. Trigger pull is heavy. Practice with relatively cheap ammo.
Thanks Buffalo. As usual your reviews are very thorough and extremely well done. That is a sweet little gun and you seemed to shoot it really good but man things sure are expensive these days. Hope you're having a great day 👍👍.
Finally some real info that can help with a possible gun purchase. I have 2 J frame 38's one Airlite never shot yet and a heavy metal model have shot on range. This would be a nice addiction and would carry it. All guns seem to have some cheap points these days guess you buy the ones with less problems. I also help train family members so they shoot what I buy or not shoot at all.Subscribed.
Excellent revolver, excellent caliber, it allows you to carry if you don't like a heavy gun or if you not a fan of recoil. S&W needs to up it's quality control because they're letting guns ship with cosmetic and mechanical flaws. I've sent three guns back in three years.
I have the same revolver but it is the 351PD model with the HAMMER love it, this is actually a option for a CCW I believe but lots of folks think the rimfire is to unreliable, personally I have never had any issues but with a revolver you have a misfire just keep pulling the trigger love this as a pocket carry gun, I have the same Gold Dot ammo as well as the Hornady made for short barrels, I ordered a thousand rounds when I bought this revolver and have accumulated a good amount of CCI Maxi mags as well as Gamepoint ammo so I am fixed up
But why carry a revolver in a smaller caliber when you can usually get a semi auto around the same size in usually a better performing cartridge? I do like the short .357s/.38s however.
Great video and outstanding shooting. Love all the detail. Very knowledgeable. I just bought the 351 PD. It does have the locking hole on the left side. Really looking forward to shooting it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, Buffalo. The S&W J frames are great little guns in any chambering. I prefer DAO (hammerless, concealed hammer) revolvers or semi autos for carry, especially pocket carry. They are very safe and reliable to carry and very simple to operate. The trigger pull is terrible for target shooting (except, apparently, for you!) but perfect for close range self defense and safe carry. FYI, my wife HATES when I shoot out my pockets like that. She tries to dress me respectably for polite society. 😜
So I've been watching your videos your content honesty is awesome but the AC/DC shirt got the subscribe 🤘keep up the good work I really enjoyed the 22 content found some of those gold dots I've never even seen them on the shelf before got lucky one day at the right place!
Hey Buffalo - I was taught by our armorer when checking timing to put a light pressure on the cylinder with the non-shooting hand thumb to add a little drag during trigger pull.
Great video Buffalo! After viewing this I'm considering buying one. Like so many other commenters, I too, like the .22 magnum cartridge. Nice shooting by the way. And thanks for the info on Speer ammo.
Thank you Buffalo, I'm in the market and using your videos and testing some at the range in order to make the best choice for me. I'm "up there"& not too strong, so it's an important decision. Loving your videos. Watch the new series, Billy the Kid, it's Great!!
Always great to see a Buffalo video. Nice shootin as always. I refer to the "hammerless" revolvers as "shrouded". I've been carrying a S&W 640 for about 30 years and the shroud has been a blessing on plenty of occasions. I've always liked the .22lr, .22 Mag, etc. but the cost of ammo over the last couple of years has got me shooting a lot more .22, including in the AR with the CMMG conversion kit. Thanks Buffalo, appreciate your videos and reviews. God bless brother.
I’ve been carrying a J Frame S&W since my 1968 rookie year on the PD. In retirement my EDC is the no lock 340PD loaded w/+P for quick & accurate follow up shots, should they be needed. I like the idea of the 351C, especially as I get closer to my eighth decade of life.
Got mine 4 months ago for my summer carry and absolutely love it, incredibly light and although trigger a bit heavy, with range time it becomes quite comfortable, also love having 7 rounds....good review...subbed
Hey Buffalo - Our armorers (US Border Patrol) taught me to apply light resistance (finger pressure) to the cylinder during rotation to properly check the timing. FWIW
Some great mods I’d recommend- 1. Delta ergo grip- zero recoil but also aligns you out of the draw. If you want to keep traditional shape for sure get the brilliant Pachmayr Guardian grip- pops out pinky when you grip for a 3 finger grip. 2. ClipDraw- let’s you carry IWB with NO holster! 3. Put some good fluorescent paint on the white dot for better low light visibility. Not tritium but it helps. 4. Get the federal punch 45 grain short barrel rounds. They expand!
Good video about an underrated cartridge in the 22 mag. I have 2 Taurus revolvers in 22 mag, a 2” barrel 941 with adjustable sights and a 942 3” barrel. The 941 is an older model which is smooth shooting because of the number of rounds fired through it. The 942 I just purchased recently. Thanks for the video again
I have a 340PD and love it. It is a 38 plus P gun for me because 357 magnum out of the gun is not fun ( well unless I want a good laugh at the expense of others 😂😂). By the way I know that trigger and your hits at 60 yards are impressive! Enjoyed the video
Don’t underestimate the .22 mag. I shoot groundhogs with it and one shot does the job. I’ve shot some gel with it and it’s almost as effective as the 9mm. Might not expand as much but it definitely packs a punch.
Great video Buffalo! I've just acquired a 351pd and I was somewhat disappointed with the trigger pull from the factory. I replaced the factory spring with a Wolfe 8#. What a difference! Did you change the spring when you did the 5 yard increment video? If not I'd bet you'd expand the range. Always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.
Honestly a revolver in general is gonna have a heavier trigger pull but a rimfire revolver especially because it needs more force to hit that rimfire primer. I would of just stuck with the original springs you may have problems with lightstrikes down the road If you haven't already maybe you won't but just something to consider.
I'm with you Buffalo. I don't get the haters. I only know you from Facebook, but I appreciate your honesty and like all the information you post. No " jinks" , wish you well 👊
.22 mag is my choice for a rifle/pistol matched caliber . It's plenty out of a pistol for a carry, and a real screamer out of a rifle with great accuracy .
Impressive video skills and amazing shooting! As you’re a fan of .22 LR/Mag revolvers, what’s your favorite? Also, I’d sure like to see .32 S&W come back, which would bridge the gap between.22 Mag & .38 SPL and has higher capacity. At least .327 will shoot .32 S&W.
Love the 22 mag caliber out of my NAA Pug, but this looks to be the next level for the cartridge in the revolver platform. I also love the sight picture.
I like small 9's and pocket 380's, and carried an LCP 380 when the weather kept me in shorts most of the year, but a fall last year which left me with a badly sprained wrist and arthritis in both hands has me looking more and more at a lite weight 22mag. I would not feel insecure with 6-7 rounds of Gold Dot or Punch in my pocket. My dream is the 351pd with the rosewood grips, but they're currently going for over $700 on GB and you can still get an LCR 22mag for around $500. Thanks for the great videos.
Nicely done Buffalo. I think if it we're mine I'd send it back to get fits. Six hundred dollars is a lot of money and Smith & Wesson is a good company and that should not have been sent out. Your right it's only going to get worse. But that's just me saying Sir. Like and enjoy and learn from your videos.
Man - How cool would this be if it had a swappable cylinder in .22LR My wife has the model 317 kit revolver (.22LR - super light) with the 1.75" barrel, which I do not think they make any longer. I like this .22mag and will keep my eye out for one. Thanks for the video.
Just ordered one of these to replace my wife’s Taurus 942 that seems to fail to fire about 1-2 rounds every cylinder under double action. I have high hopes the 351C quality is good and it fires reliably so she can be confident it will fire if need be. In the meantime the Taurus will be going back for evaluation and hopefully repair or replacement. Great video!
I love my 351PD. All it needed to make it perfect was Hogue Bantam grips to replace the wood grips (they didn’t fit my hand properly). I also like the DeSantis Clip Grip on this gun, but the gun won’t stay put in your waistband for long due to the light weight. The fiber optic Hi-Viz front provides a superior sight picture. The 351C is high on my “buy” list.
These are clearly nice shooting and reliable guns with the better ammo. They are capable of stopping attackers in self-defense situations and there are more reports of them used in self-defense incidents. Other videos show about a 100 fps advantage for 3 vs 2 inch barrels; something to think about when purchasing.
Have the 351 PD model and I gotta say it is astonishingly accurate (def for the barrel length) with Federal Punch, especially in single action. I bought the gun for summer carry... but I gotta admit, I find myself carrying it a lot lately. It's just so light... and with the recent short barrel magnum loads (Punch and Gold Dots)... 7 rounds... well, I guess what I'm say'n is, I'm get'n spoiled. Kinda "rounded" the end of the hammer a bit (wouldn't call it bobbed) so it's doesn't "pinch" - EASY carry - runs great.
Also, for anyone considering carrying one. I went through a couple holsters - easiest carrying I've found so far is a pretty minimalist kydex model. Mission First Tactical MFT Minimalist Holster for S&W J Frame
Nice review ... Some time ago I went with the Ruger LCRx in 22mag. It's a six shot. Makes for a really handy little pocket revolver in the summer using a DeSantis pocket holster. I also use the Speer Gold Dot ammo. Lucky Gunner folks did some testing on this and seems to expand to approx. .32" which I think makes this ammo a viable defense round. Good shooting there, and thanks again for the review.
Love the 351c wish the 351pd was also available without the external lock 43c 351c some versions of the 442 + 642 the 640 Pro Series and 340 m&p can all be had without external locks.
But what if a 300lb man high on bath salts with a heavy jacket on in the summer at dusk with sunglasses tries to rob you of your $19.99 watch & your jitterbug cell phone while you are eating a hotdog with relish with one hand and a Miller High Life in the other & also walking your pet duck ? What is a 22 going to help ? You would at least need a bazooka suppressed with a laser dot sight & night vision Oh do you have a beard ? If not then there is no helping you
@@bobafatt2155 I'm guessing you've never been to an autopsy where a .22 mag was used to dispatch the victim. I can assure you that there is very little difference between the wounds from a .22 mag HP and a .38 HP.
Price of firearms is very dependent on your location. In Commiefornia, we're stuck paying *over MSRP,* especially in the urban areas. Once you add in all the fees and tax it's often $150 more. Very nice shooting with a revolver with gutter sights. I've been eyeing one of those Smiths, but I have other pistols higher up on my wishlist.
You are not the only one that likes 22 Ammo revolvers. My wallet is extremely fond of them and the smiles that they produce are exceptional.

That Gold Dot isn't just a sales pitch. That stuff works great in mag and LR. Your video on the ammo test proved that.

A S&W J frame snub nose would be much more reliable and lethal as a backup gun. Especially a model like the 442 or 642.
Keep staying safe officer, don’t forget the crotch
The S&W would be much easier to shoot single handed if necessary.

Hey Buffalo. Great shooting and great Tee shirt!!
Nice review ... Some time ago I went with the Ruger LCRx in 22mag. It's a six shot. Makes for a really handy little pocket revolver in the summer using a DeSantis pocket holster. I also use the Speer Gold Dot ammo. Lucky Gunner folks did some testing on this and seems to expand to approx. .32" which I think makes this ammo a viable defense round.
Good shooting there, and thanks again for the review.
I have a 43C and love it
Good see you in your old self; and back making fun to watch videos. 🙂 Take care and God bless. ✨🐃✨
Love the revolver! Love the shirt!
Great presentation and shooting.
I love it ❤😊
Outstanding review and exceptional shooting skills.
Great video, excellent evaluation of the 351c!!! I know because I own one, and only wish I could shoot as accurate as you!!!😂
Love the 351c wish the 351pd was also available without the external lock 43c 351c some versions of the 442 + 642 the 640 Pro Series and 340 m&p can all be had without external locks.
Nice little unit, seems like it rings the steel nice and hard, just a bit on the small size for my big mitts.👍
That's some pretty good shootin with that little 22mag. I agree with you, if you like it carry it .
Back in Black!
Great review. Very thoroughly done ✔ Thanks.
Another great review, Buffalo! Jinxes be danged!
Oh my goodness that’s some amazing shooting brother - can’t believe you are that accurate with a snub nose with such an obnoxiously heavy trigger
Great video and with your steady hands you must be a surgical doctor!
Great video as usual. Folks that doubt what a .22 mag can do have never seen the results. It is absolutely devastating to flesh.
But what if a 300lb man high on bath salts with a heavy jacket on in the summer at dusk with sunglasses tries to rob you of your $19.99 watch & your jitterbug cell phone while you are eating a hotdog with relish with one hand and a Miller High Life in the other & also walking your pet duck ? What is a 22 going to help ? You would at least need a bazooka suppressed with a laser dot sight & night vision
Oh do you have a beard ? If not then there is no helping you
@@bobafatt2155 I'm guessing you've never been to an autopsy where a .22 mag was used to dispatch the victim. I can assure you that there is very little difference between the wounds from a .22 mag HP and a .38 HP.
@@1boortzfan , seriously? can’t you see I was making fun of all the people who dislike the 22 ? Seriously
Great review, Good shootin’!
I love revolvers 💪🇺🇸
Crimson Trace grips, and you won't regret buying!😃
Nice gun, nice shooting.
WBR
Don't forget to tell SMITH & WESSON To put THREE Finger HOGUE Grips on All the REVOLVERS.👍💥👍
I like that sweet little plinker with some pop! Have a good weekend!
you do not brag, you do...you seem to be an impressive young man.
Mindbuildingsolutions Approved!
Excellent video and content.
It be interesting to see the velocity differences between the 22 magnum and the 22 long rifle versions of this gun
I have the 351pd , I chronoed the gold dots at 1100 FPS , Critical Defense at 1,000 and most 22 long rifle at about 925-950
Price of firearms is very dependent on your location. In Commiefornia, we're stuck paying *over MSRP,* especially in the urban areas. Once you add in all the fees and tax it's often $150 more.
Very nice shooting with a revolver with gutter sights. I've been eyeing one of those Smiths, but I have other pistols higher up on my wishlist.
