Smith & Wesson Model 351 Personal Defense 22 Magnum / 22 WMR Revolver - Blue/Black, 1.87" Barrel, 7 Rounds, Wood Grips, Night Sights

I bought this to use as my concealed carry. I am pleased with this S&W. I took it with me when I visited my brother who had no experience with firearms. This pistol is so accurate that he clustered over 80% of his shots! I questioned his statement that he had not shot prior to this pistol. He loved it and now wants to order one for himself. The range master was equally impressed with the weight and accuracy of this pistol. In fact, he had other employees take a look and they equally were impressed. This is the first purchase I've made at Buds and it's not my last. The pistol arrived within the time they said it would. Shopping at Bud's was so easy. I later bought some 22 magnum rounds for 38cents apiece. The best price I found in years, and I live near the CCI manufacturer. Thank you, Bud's.

Buy this gun barely know it’s in your pocket. Shoots great as well tried all kinds of ammo haven’t figured which is the best yet!!!

Great little revolver! light weight with an excellent single/double trigger.

Hopefully this is helpful for anyone considering this gun. At first I was a little shocked with how light weight it was, but just looks beautiful. Was a little hard to get the cylinder open but after a good cleaning and putting rounds through it, it softened up and works just fine. I heard a lot about a concerning heavy trigger pull, But really I thought it was fine. To me it’s about the same as the pull on my 686. Really fun to shoot, not 1 misfire so far and shoots as good as you can manage. Recoil felt light, more than a 22lr, but lighter than a 38 out of the L-frame 686. Very happy with the purchase, would reco to anyone on the fence- you will love it.

Great little revolver. Fun to shoot. Fit and finish were flawless. Wife likes it, too….wish I bought two. Bud’s handled everything perfectly, like always.

I was thoroughly impressed with the service. The pistol is beautiful and quite a firearm. Fun to shoot and great for a backup pocket piece. Wife enjoys shooting it to practice trigger and breathing skills. Thanks again Buds!!

My favorite gun. Thanks Bud’s

I bought this gun to carry in my pocket. I have carried it and it is all I had expected. It is small and the size lets it be comfortable to carry just what I was looking for. A word of caution if you are going to target shoot wear ear protection, that's all I'm going to say. I'm very satisfied with my gun an especially happy with Bud's guns.

I have heard nothing but good for S&W products. I have purchased 2 S&W revolvers and both have quality control issues. I would say the same quality as Taurus, I currently am waiting on S&W to fix the issues... On this pistol the barrel pin was only half way in, but looked like someone else besides the factory tried to hammer it in. There’s paint drips in the finish, so for a snub nose for the mid $700’s in my view should look like it came from the performance center... Buds was great, fast and simple!

OUTSTANDING revolver. Fits my requirements exactly. I'm a retired law enforcement officer who spent 33 years on the job. For half of that time I carried a revolver, and for the later half I carried a semi auto. The revolver is far more reliable. Don't get me wrong. A quality semi auto is very reliable if properly maintained and the magazines are rotated, but they'll eventually have a malfunction. I can set a loaded revolver for years, pick it up, and it will fire. Back when I was qualifying every 3 months, maintaining the semi auto and the mags was no problem, but now that I'm retired I really don't have the time or inclination to keep up with it properly, so I'm more comfortable with a revolver. Since retiring I pretty much always carry a firearm in my back pocket. It's my preference, because it's comfortable, and it's always there. I have several air weight 38s, but none are really light and compact enough for me to comfortably carry in my back pocket all the time, so for years I've pretty much carried a small 380 or 32 semi auto. Over they years I've purchased numerous firearms from Bud's, so I happened up this 351PD while browsing one day. To my surprise I noticed that it's about the same weight as my Ruger LCP, so I couldn't pass up! Thanks to Bud's for the quick shipping. I changed the grips to the Pachmayr compact pro grips, and this revolver feels great in my back pocket, and for anyone who knows how to correctly fire a DA revolver, it's damn accurate. I know that some will say 22WMR is not a self defense round, but anyone who's ever hunted with it knows different. I carry the Hornady Critical defense ammo, and feel confident with this revolver in my pocket. In my opinion I'm not making felony vehicle stops, or kicking in doors anymore. I don't need a high capacity hand cannon. I just need something reliable, and comfortable enough to carry so that I'll always have it with me as a last resort to get out of a jam, and this 351PD fits the bill to a T for me! Thanks again to Bud's for the great service!
