Lets see some snubbies....RIMFIRE snubbies

[SAFireman]

I have wanted a snub 22 for a long time. About 10 years ago, a Lew Horton model 63 fell into my lap.

The 22 just lit the fire for more, and I was off looking for a 22 Mag snubby. About 3 years ago a S&W distributor was cleaning house and offered a mess of Centennial 22 Mags - model 351c, for a song. I snapped one up, but probably should have bought 3.

Here a few weeks before Thanksgiving, I ran across another 22 Mag, but this time it was a model 651. I guess Christmas came early for me. I had to wait a few weeks to pick it up due to my FFL being shut down due to the entire staff having contracted Covid-19, then travel for work got in my way. Long story short, I got this one picked up middle of this week.

I know that I am a fan, how about you guys?

Wish I had more, but I only have one......model 34.

 

[Boxhead]

My one and only.

My 34-2, it's my safe queen w/ box, docs and tools. I have a 34-1 in almost the same condition but no goodies, it's my shooter.

Here's my 63 Shorty hanging with some Autos.

34-1, well used and much appreciated. I can't afford a better example in today's market. Joe

About 15 years ago I was offered a 651 ( AS, think I got the model right) snubby for $400 at a small gun show in NY from a retired cop, private sale. Two inch ? barrel 22 mag.

I thought who needs a snubby 22 mag with AS. Those guns are going for ridiculous money and have been for quite awhile.

I think about that often.

 

[RKmesa]

Fun guns so far.

This pre-34 is the only stubby one that I have...

 

[Babysitr]

only have two...probably unfired 317, and a well used 34-1, previous owner replaced the worn out orig. grips.didn't keep them, darn

 

[AJ]

This is the 351C that was given to me by a friend. I changed the grip to the Hogue grips that I had on my 342 Ti. Just a bit larger than the original grips but feel much better in my hand. Still conceals pretty much the same. The speed loader is harder to conceal.

Not sure how many of the 2" 317's were produced with adjustable rear sights, but this one found its forever home quite some time ago!

Well I only have one, but I think it's a beauty.

My only .22 snub is a Charter Arms 8 shot Pathfinder.

 

[Frailer]

A couple of favorites in .22LR that get shot frequently. They are not only great training tools; they're also buckets of fun.

Top to bottom: 351C w/ Spegels in Black

Walnut, 43C w/ bone & a Tyler, 63-3 with grips from an unknown maker and a pesky LCPII that snuck in!

I only have this one lonely rimfire snubby, but it's a keeper. A S&W 351PD 22 magnum snubnose. I bought it mostly to drop in the pocket of my PJ's when 4 legs has to go outside. We're out in a rural area and often see possum, skunks, racoons and an occasional Mr. wiggly. I usually have the first two chambers loaded with 22 WMR shotshells for them.

I's a great carry piece with 7 rounds of 22 magnum at the ready. I would not feel uncomfortable carrying this little fella to the grocery or anywhere else for that matter.

That is EXACTLY why I bought the 351c. So light and easy to just drop into basketball shorts or PJ's. 7 rounds of CC! MAXI Mag ought to do the trick on miscreants and the CCI Shotshells work well on our local copperhead population.

We have a member here who dispatched 2 VC with 22 Mag in 'Nam. His story is probably still on the board, but I haven't the faintest idea how to find it. As many people bash the 22LR and Mag, there are 10x quiet supporters and true believers.

I have a friend that gets bored too! He had a 6 inch Model 1& chopped to 4 inches. I asked him why not buy a Model 18 with the 4 inch barrel. His reply was I wanted a 17 in 4 inch. His gunsmith did a nice job, but.........

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

I shamelessly share mine again. All Great. in my opinion the best .22 snubbies ever made. Blue Stainless Nickel.

 

[ladder13]

I seem to remember SportsmanOutdoors had the 351C for ~ $400 a couple years back, a steal. I was in the " I don't need another gun" mode.

I see them for $ 649 + nowadays.
