model 351c

[tomahawk223]

thinking of getting a model 351c due to the weight for carrying, how are these compared to the 43c other than the caliber. any QC issues with 351c . anyone have first hand experience with this model. Im looking for the lightest carry gun, i find myself not carrying my other guns due to weight especially in the summer. my 442 is one of my regular guns so I have enough holsters and grips if needed. thanks for any of your opinions.

I EDC a 442. I also tried the 351C because of the light weight and a few more rounds. The trigger on the 351c was so bad that I sold it. Since then, I have moved on to a 432UC. 6 rounds of .32 H&R mag in a J frame with nice sites. Mainly, I like the 432UC since it's a centerfire cartridge and in my opinion, increases reliability. I hate the cost of ammo for the 432UC. It will probably be carried often and shot a little less.

I have the 351 PD which I pocket carry on my daily jogs. The light weight is great but the trigger pull is a bit heavy since it's a rim fire. I wish it had a rear adjustable sight since it could use a bit of windage adjustment with the ammo I have in it. I think it's a nice revolver for my use.

The triggers are heavy like most rimfire revolvers.

They are good little guns though. Recoil is basically zero.

Just consider it a close range affair and dont judge yourself by bullseye gun standards.

They will group well at close if the shooter can.

I think the 32 H&R is going to push me to reloading. Which will be another addictive hobby.

I have a 351C and the trigger is much heavier than the 317, but it is pretty smooth. But I'm a really long time J frame shooter, these things take a lot of dedicated practice.

I had a 351 pd as well. Nice to carry-abysmal trigger. Very hard to shoot because of the truly obscene trigger pull (weight was beyond what a 12 lb trigger scale would register). Very good gunsmith told me he couldn't make it lighter and guarantee ignition. Would up moving on.

I carry one daily in summer months for the past couple few years.
As stated trigger is long and heavy but consistent accuracy can be easily obtained at any reasonable distance.
Recoil is nonexistent but report is rather sharp.
The lack of weight will make one forget it's even in your pocket.
