S&W 351 PD 22 Magnum Revolver

[@scubaguy007]

That is a nice-looking revolver. My problem is I'm not sure whether to be jealous that you have all these nice guns or the fact you can shoot them so well. 😊 God bless you.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks so much for the comment. I am trying to knock the rust off! I have shot less this year than I have in 20 years and I don't like it! LOL I am getting reacquainted though!

RIght!?! That's some FINE double action trigger work!

[@gregnixon5770]

He's just being humble...that man is a great shot...hitting a small target at 60 yards with a DB9 proved that to me

[@butchie2752]

Had mine for awhile and it’s one of my favorites. I usually shoot it single action. Not appreciably slower and more accurate than 12 lb pull double action. I also added the crimson trace grip. Very nice review.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks, this one is quickly becoming one of my favorites as well.

[@kencoffman7145]

Buffalo, I know that you and I are old enough to remember Bill Jordan (i hope😅). He always held the 22 magnum in high respect for self defense. To many folks poop on a rimfire but ive always felt confident with any one that i found reliable.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Oh yeah Bill Jordan is a legend! I didn't know he liked the .22 magnum though, thanks for that bit of information!

​@@buffalosoutdoorslovely revolver mate! Here in England, it's (to say the least) difficult to own a gun since the criminal Tony Blair banned hand guns in the late '90's..how many guns do you own?

[@kevanhubbard9673]

Old Sir Tony Blair gets the blame for everything even things he didn't do!It was Sir John Major who virtually banned handguns in England, Wales and Scotland.You could add the late Queen too as she'll have put it forward in her Queen's Speech.

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed the ammo testing series with that CZ. I been thinking about doing something else in a series like that but I don't know what just yet.

[@annpuvicerpu7171]

A great review. I've had mine for a few years now, always enjoyed shooting .22 LR and .22 Magnum. When I got the .351 PD I had accuracy issues. Thought it might just be me but even at 3 feet it was shooting to the right. S&W was great, they sent me a return label and I got it back a few weeks later. I forget what the paperwork said, but they did note some adjustments. Afterward, it landed point of aim; it fires at least as well as I can shoot. One thing I overlooked when I picked it up was one of the grips was slightly cracked, looked like over-tightening the grip screw. Not that noticeable, just annoyed about it for the price point. All ammo I have shoots fine except Aguila Silver Eagle, that brand locks the cylinder. I recommend getting the Speed Beez 351-07 speed loader for it and a reloading block. I chose the 10-cylinder block, which really helps send round downrange in a hurry. It's great that the ammo companies are making short-barrel rounds, which IMHO make the .351-PD a credible, if minimal, choice for carry. Again, good job Buffalo.

[@cliffguthrie7530]

[@bradh6955]

This looks like a great gun! I debated way too long between the 351PD and the LCRx 3". I ended up going with the LCRx, but I think either revolver would be a great choice... or I could be like you and have both!

Great Review bro. I just repurchased the same gun. I recently sold it to my local FFL dealer and instantly regretted it! Purchased a J-frame 357 magnum and hated it. Went back to my local FFL dealer to trade it for some else... And there was my baby (351PD) waiting for me. LOL! So I swallowed my pride and repurchased it and I couldn't be happier. (Smile) I figure it's better to carry a seven shot 22 magnum that you shoot well, than a five shot 357 magnum that you shoot just okay. Just my opinion. Stay safe and healthy. peace
