Smith & Wesson J-Frame revolvers have been a top choice when in need for a concealable firearms. These small revolvers were designed to be reliable and simple in their function. This is not a pistol I will carry a majority of the time but it will serve a purpose if my attire dictates a smaller profile gun.
The Smith & Wesson Model 351 C is an AirWeight variation of the Smith and Wesson Centennial Model. Built on an aluminum-alloy J-frame and chambered in 22 Magnum, this revolver is compact and lightweight, perfect for concealed carry.

Wait a few years and when you blow out a shoulder lifting or at work a .22lr or .22 mag starts making sense.

I own this exact gun. I run the Hornaday 22mags. I bought it because I wanted a lightweight gun for when I talk a walk. Now my wife has claimed it as her carry gun. 22mag is ideal for her.

These do make sense and I’ve been thinking of one for a while now. LCP fills this role currently.

Check out the LCR in .357 Magnum. Similar size and weight, but twice the power of an LCP.

My 351c has a clip draw on it. I wear it back and forth to the gym. Sometimes as a secondary gun depending on where I am going. Great little gun. Lightest gun S&W makes. Feels like a cap gun which is great in gym shorts. This is a “break contact” gun.

Federal punch is great. I found the nickel cartridge ejects much better in my 351c. You would love the hamre forge as well. Check out demonstrated concepts channel video. I love it but love the crimson trace green laser even more because it’s dry fire practice all the time for me.

I have the 43c, 22 lr 8 shot version. Awesome guns, super light weight, easy to conceal and draw. Great for carry without need to dress around it and allowing to carry in swim/ athletic shorts 👍👍☀️

Recently got an LCR in 22lr. Combined it with Federal Punch...I carry it more often than many would admit, but even if you never carry it, combine it with the 38spl LCR and it's an incredibly cheap trainer.

@joshklaver47 Жыл бұрын

You should step up to the .22 WMR LCR. The ballistics are more like .22 LR out of a rifle, depending on ammo selection.

@mikem.2078 3 ай бұрын

Fullm4talkacket and joshklaver. I too have the LCR in 22lr, and am having my doubts that 22mag would really be much of a jump up. More so in that this gun would run me nearly 800, plus I'd have to go and spend several hundred more getting 22mag ammo (have none at the moment).

I have been a CCW holder for 45 years for work im 75 now and a heavy belt full of crap for years has recked my back and hips and I still have a whole safe full of all kinds of every cal guns I carried now its a sw 351pd with 2 10 round speed strips of fed punch ammo and a sw 43c with the same kind of ammo 2 speed strips I never feel under gunned I have seen what 22mag and 22lr do to humans and its not a round you want to take a couple of up close it will stop you faster than people think great vid its nice to see vids about a subject not as popular with all the ninjas on youtube

I changed out the trigger rebound spring in my 351c for a 13# spring and left the hammer spring(the one that matters for popping the primers) and it lightened up the trigger pull a bit.

Great video. I have the 351 pd and is my favorite carry in a Mikas pocket holster. I consider this a 10yds and closer carry gun. I did put some lighter springs 9lb and 12lb and polished the internal parts and an extended firing pin. Have about 900 to 1000 rounds through it and 0 light strikes. It is now very smooth to shoot. I shoot Federal punch ammo. I have complete confidence in it. 22mag is no joke, it will stop a threat. Take care.

@glennsammon4465 5 ай бұрын

if someone does not like the grips and wants a full 3 finger hold then they may want to try the older skinny " splinter" style grips. I have them on all my J frames and I like them. since 22 mag is not kicking like a 44 mag you can handle the gun better and the pinky on the grip frame helps with pulling the trigger, keeping the gun more stable in the hand. just a thought.

Why a J-frame with an internal hammer? Because it gives you options. The small size & feather weight means it can be carried *in addition* to or instead of a better handgun. As an added bonus if it’s in a pocket, you can acquire the grip preemptively to be danger-ready without having to commit yourself. On top of that, you have the option to fire through a jacket pocket if you’re already *hit and/or there’s no time to take a better shot.

@joshklaver47 Жыл бұрын

At least get a speed strip for this. It's a convenient way to carry a reload, and it's still quicker than reloading with loose rounds. It's good to be able to quickly top off if you've only fired a few rounds.

@99Racker 2 ай бұрын

If you are going to carry a rimfire, the only improvement I would suggest is a 3" barrel. If you can carry a 2" barrel, a 3" adds MV and improves sight length. This would also make a better KIT GUN for sportsmen.

Smaller and lighter

@schwedr 8 ай бұрын

The 43c 22 lr and the 351c 22 mag are just slightly smaller than the ruger lcr mostly because of the grip but the lcr is just barely at all a little more bulky in the frame. Because of the grip on the lcr it might be considered better to shoot for some people but the other two are easier to conceal or pocket carry than the lcr. They are also lighter than the lcr. I had the S&W 351c 22 mag and wish I never got rid of it. I have the lcr 22 lr and would never try to pocket carry it unless I change the grip on it because it’s just too big although some people do. They are all good guns for what they are but the lcr 22 lr does have a very long and heavy trigger pull on it but it’s smooth not gritty. Some people like it and others don’t and would prefer the trigger pull on the S&W. It’s a matter of preference.
