22mag airweight 351pd

[Lobster Picnic]

I have the 351C, the hammerless version with the Big Dot front sight. I paid $689.99 in 2013 for mine. It shipped with a bare metal cylinder face with visible machine marks. So maybe they had to true it up on final inspection? I dunno, but the cylinder gap is fine on all chambers and I've never had a hiccup of any sort, not even sticky extraction. I've always used Speer Gold Dots in this revolver and it performs well, reliable and accurate.

The trigger is heavy, but this also makes it very safe for carry. It's a short-distance gun but I've made some decent longer hits with it. My little 351C managed to bust a roly-poly target that wasn't meant to come apart. The folks banging it with 9mm all day were pretty impressed. Maybe they just softened it up for me.

today I saw a 7 shot 22mag airweight I think its a 351pd .it was a snubby and light as a feather.had a red hiviz front sight.and rosewood grips .I liked that thing.but man they wanted $689 for it.anyone have one how do they shoot?

That is about the price that is asked around here and they sell rather quickly. I was lucky as a friend of mine thought I needed one and gave me one. I had sold my 342 as I have arthritis in my hand. He thought that I needed another ultralight revolver to carry.

I'm just wondering if you've run yours over a chronograph? I've read that 22 Mag ammo is all designed for rifle length barrels, and doesn't really deliver the same improvement over 22LR in pistols as it does in rifles. I'm just curious if that's really so, especially in a very short barrel.

I think you would find as a general rule that you get 22LR rifle performance from a 22 mag in a revolver, my model 51 is nothing to sneeze at, a big improvement over the 22lr, imho.

I had kind of forgot that I picked this one up a couple years ago used for 375. Got it for carrying in the yard loaded first with a few rounds of shot shells. But after shooting it decided I liked the 38 shot shells better. Still liked the gun and it made a nice set. So couldnt sell it.
