651-1 2" snub nose

1970Scorpion · Aug 16, 2023

Two 2" 651-1's added to my small collection. Product code 103900. One is prefix LHS and the other is CBC. I understand the production quantities of the 2" to be low. Both are NIB although I'm thinking of firing at least one to enjoy it. Any additional info on these is appreciated.

Nice! I don't think I've ever seen one before.

Take one of them hiking in the mountains!!! Easy to carry 50 rounds of .22 magnum and a small flap holster for the 651.

Very cool revolvers. I had one several years ago. It was really fun to shoot. Traded it away but now wish I hadn't.

The snub rimfires are really cool, and not often seen. The 22 Mag version was a Lew Horton exclusive at one point, there aren't too many out there. It took me several years before I found one that was for sale. It was pretty much the same for the 22 LR version.

Deaf Smith is 100% correct. They are ideal for camp meat. You can carry 200 rounds more easily than 50 centerfire rounds.

Very nice! Congrats on a great find
A 2" 651 is on my short list. I have a 2" 63 and 3" 650, but can't find a 2" 651. Just passed on a 3" 51. However, if I had to decide between a 2" 63 or 651, I'd keep the 63.

The only one I have ever seen was about 25 years ago at a show in White Plains,NY. Retiring cop offered it to me for $400. I thought, "why would I need a snub 22 mag"

It appears to me you got one each, RSR Special and Lew Horton Special. Amazing find. Congratulations.

Just remember to bring earplugs!

I like .22 mag but it's a loud little guy out of a short barrel.

Ok, so I have two 651-1 2" product 103900. One is a RSR special (Serial prefix CBC) and the other is a Lew Horton special (Serial prefix LHS). I purchased then separately as NIB and have not fired them. Now that I have them, I'm considering listing them for sale at what I paid as I'm looking to change out my small inventory. Unfortunately, I paid a premium.

How many PMs have you received?

One of those guns which has eluded me.
Have made ridiculous offers but came up short.
Do have a 4 inch 651, No Joy on the Shortie.
