Can anyone with a 351C chime in and tell me what you like or dislike about this revolver ?
Any problems ?
Any issues?

I have had a 351c for several years. I like it and have no issues. I liked it so much I also have a 43c is the same thing in 22LR. no issues with this one either. On the trigger pull I left the 351c as it is. So the few times I carry it I will not have any ammo issues. The 43c I put different springs and an truglo front sight on it. I use it to plink. The trigger is stiff but vary smooth.

I have one and really like it.I had an lcr in 22wmr but it just didn't have the feel the Smith does.I did have the trigger pull made a little lighter .The new ammo made for these short barrel handguns is world's apart from a few years ago.For those who laugh at the 22 mag should see what it has done to the tree I hang targets on! I carry a 360j but never hesitate to grab the 351c. Jack

Not the C model, but I had a 351pd. It is a fine revolver but I ultimately sold it. Like all rimfire revolvers, the hammer spring is very stout. I measured mine at about 15 lbs in DA. That was more than I wanted, my intent was for my wife to EDC it but she had a very difficult time with it in DA. The trigger pull can be lightened but at the cost of reliability, failure to fires. Got the pull down to just under 12 lbs but the result was about a 25% FTF rate. Put it back to factory settings and sold it.

I bought one a year or maybe two ago; nice gun and light. But, as others have noted, the trigger pull is really stiff. For a close range defense gun (22 mag not a great choice for that anyway) accuracy is ok. Maybe with a lot of practice I could get use to that trigger. . . . Make sure you are ok with the trigger pull before you buy it. I'm a lot happier, and more accurate, with my 651s. Good luck.

I've had one for 2+ years and really like it. The light weight is a good match for the cartridge, and I like that I can practice with my carry ammo since all .22 Mag ammo is about the same price.

The super heavy trigger is the only thing holding the 351c back. It's very safe for carry but a challenge to shoot well at distance. Carries like a dream, though.
