Default How’d I do? 351PD

Picked this up for at Bass pro used. Seemed decent. Would also love to hear others’ experiences with the gun. Thanks!

Those are $700 guns about anywhere you look, so you did alright. I finally gave in and bought one 3-4 years ago and consider it a keeper. Not a target gun for sure, but I do often carry it around the property with a couple of WMR shotshells up first for copperhead.

Heavy triggers, but good little guns I think. Congratulations!

You did very well. I really like mine, even at 7 bills. It’s become my main summer all the time carrying gun. It likes some ammo better than others so that can help for accuracy. For CC purposes I use the Speer gold dots.
I know there are those who have a problem with the trigger but I put a Wolf set of rimfire springs in mine and it works. Others have said theirs don’t with this setup. Just be warned it’s a loud little bugger.

Thanks! Can’t wait to fire it. You need to wear extra ears or standard muffs?

Had a few, bought another one for the wife last week along with a case of Hornady 45gr critical defense ammo. Love the round, it's loud though out of this revolver, wear ear protection!

Standard ear pro is fine. Some people made the mistake of just thinking it’ll be just a bit more than a 22 and don’t wear anything. That’s a whoops.
