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.
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!
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
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.
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?
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.
@@kevanhubbard9673 really? It wasn't Blair you say? Well..Blair has plenty of crimes under his belt so we can at least take satisfaction in naming him for being a miscreant
@@kevanhubbard9673 was it because of Dunblane that Major banned handguns?
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.
Thanks, this one is quickly becoming one of my favorites as well.
Another great video Buffalo! I love how accurate my 351 PD is. It might be the last revolver I would ever sell. Thanks again for all of your great work.
I wish I'd have gotten one a long time ago. I'm late to the party but at least I'm here! Thanks for the comment!
How many Bucks does It cost in US market. Grateful advise.
$750-800@@gilbertodecarvalhocorrea8501
Love that little Smith&Wesson! Good to see ya Buffalo 🦬Hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Thank you and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
This is absolutely one of the best channels on this platform.
Thanks so much!
You have always been and continue to be one of the tippy top best shots i have ever seen in my lifetime. Just watched your video trying to catch a bullet from your .460 in water jugs at 100 yards. Offhand i might add. Amazing shot. I appreciate you being humble but your shooting is top notch. 👍👍
Awesome to see you still pumping out videos after all these years my friend! :D
Sorry... "AllAmericanShooter". :)
Hello buddy! So glad to see you here. I don't put out as many as I used too but I am trying to get back at it!
:) Glad to see you here too, Sir! Any chance you have a preferred mode of communication outside of just commenting here?
@@buffalosoutdoors I will not buy a .22 MAGNUM revolver with a barrel length less than 4" inches because of too much velocity loss.
Excellent video - Thanks! You're my favorite gun reviewer on the Internet. Hat's off to you sir.
Thanks so much!
Man that’s one slick wheel gun. Been wanting to pick up another revolver… so many to choose. Have seen these out there…definitely a j frame that you can shoot a lot without breaking your hand. Great shooting by the way!
Thanks man! I appreciate you stopping by!
One of my faves, The gun and the UA-camr.
Wow thanks I appreciate that!
I’ve been looking forward to the next video! You make shooting a short barrel revolver look so easy however, I know its not. Love your videos. Please keep them coming!
Thank you! I really struggled with that 3" Diamondback Sidekick. It was nice shooting something that I could shoot well with this 351 pd!
nice shooting bro@@buffalosoutdoors
Very nice looking little S&W. I love the red laminate grips.
Thanks! I like them too!
My local gun store recently had this revolver in stock and I’m so glad I bought it! It’s such a great gun! It really is a Jim Dandy!
Glad you like it!
That's a keeper right there.
For sure! Thank you!
Beautiful weapon! Love the grip and finish combo!
I do to. Thank you!
Love the .22 Mag it's more powerful then.22 LR
You are a pretty good shot 🎯
Thank you!
I always enjoy your reviews Buffalo ,especially the series a few years with the CZ 527 MTR with an assessment of ammo. Keep them coming i keep waiting for the next one.
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.
That is a beautiful gun Buffalo. I love the grips. Great shooting and video. Glad to see you on the range.
Thanks! I’m glad to be back home!
Buffalo is the Bob Ross of the shooting world. Love it my friend lol !!
Can't get a better compliment than that! Thank you!
Nice. Just wish Smith would build those with three inch barrels. I love the Ruger LCR-X 3", wish it had a 7 or 8 shot cylinder.
That would be sweet!
Just picked mine up today ,, yes it is a Dandy ...........
Pretty sweet piece, have a great holiday season
Thank you and the same to you!
Did not expect to see that tight of a group. Very impressive little revolver.
It's a shooter for sure.
Jim Dandy! 😅 Thanks for that. Haven't heard it in decades.
Seriously that's a great looking piece!
Really enjoy your videos, Buff, including your reminder that Freedom is The Greater Good, and the banjo music. 👍
Glad you enjoy them! Thanks so much for all your comments on my videos, I really appreciate it.
Great video as always, and great to see you back
It's great to be back! Thanks so much for the comment!
one hand, da trigger, all hits at 7 yds !! 👏🏽
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.
That's a sweet little gun, but then, I don't think I've ever met a S&W J-Frame that I didn't like. Thanks for showing it to us. You got a pretty good deal on that gun, your local FFL must be a fan of the channel.
Thanks, you sound a lot like me when it comes to the J frames.
I really have been toying with the idea of getting a 22mag revolver. Thanks for the video.
You're very welcome!
Thanks for this video.. as always, informative and interesting. I always enjoy your pistol shooting skills, you make it look so darn easy! Take care and be well.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy my videos!
Thank you !!!
You're welcome and thank you for the comment!
Enjoyed the video - thanks! I wasn’t looking for an S&W 351PD, but now that I watched this video, I am. My wife wants to thank you 😂
Glad I could help! ... I think.... LOL I appreciate the comment!
That opening shot was very impressive. Nice production there!
Thanks!
❤Ooh the BEST MAGNUM!! ❤
Thank you!
slick little pistol. i have the j frame m&p 357 and love it. had it for years and carry it everyday appendix with the pocket clip.
.357 is a stopper for sure!
I have the 340pd, the PD series is the best line of small revolvers on market, they are great example of modern and old tech.
Well said.
I've got a 340 PD also, ouch!! My wife stole it and carries it with some .38 special ammo. I also have the 386 PD which is less painful with the magnums. On a side note, Excellent channel Mr. Buffalo!!!
@@xxlxpman Any normal person would carry it with .38 special, I found some 125 grain .357 that isn't too bad but will still bruise your palm. Next for me is a 329pd, it's the only one they say can be worse. That 386pd is awesome, I have a 686+.
That's a keeper. One of the best snubs you can have!
Thanks!
I'd like to see some of those lightening cuts on my bigger S&W!
Well, they hollowed out the bores on those biggins! Thanks for stopping by Pat!
Sweet revolver, good to see you back on the range 👍
Glad to be here!
I had one a while back. When I decided I did not want to carry a gun I sold the 351 PD. I wish I still had it. I really wish S&W made a version of the Model 63 in .22 WMR; all steel. There was a Model 651, I believe, but they are scarce and expensive.
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!
You can't go wrong with either! Or both!
Have the LCRX in both 2/3 inch and love em both, however the 3 inch version is overall a bigger gun. Huge fan of the WMR. Happy Thanksgiving. All the best. "The JJ" SW Penna.
I'm liking what I saw. I just picked up a Sidekick and really enjoy it. Might be in my future 🤠
Mine has a heavy double action, much heavier than any S&W j frame I own, but the .22 Mag is notorious for misfires. My King Cobra Target .22 has spoiled me. Keep it up you're doing a great job 😊
👍👍A great looking revolver and a very well done review. Thanks Buffalo
Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by!
Good to see you again, Buffalo! That's alittle pricey revolver but it is a Smith so that's what's gonna happen for the quality. I love the 22 mag for pistols too, use it mostly in a Single Six and I'll keep my eye out for one of these to go with it.
Thank you, it's good to be uploading videos again. Keep the barrel warm on that Single Six! 😉
That is a sweet looking revolver Buffalo. Hope y'all have a great thanksgiving Sir.
Thank you and I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving as well!
Welcome back! That 351 PD sure is sweet.
Thank you! Glad to be here.
Right out of the box the trigger/hammer would hang up and lock the gun up on mine. Had to return it to S&W. Got it back 7weeks later and it shot hard to the left and looked like I was trying to pattern a shotgun. My FFL let me trade it in with the a full refund of the purchase price. Must have been a Monday hangover gun.
Wow that's horrible. I don't see how they let stuff like that leave the factory. I have sent a few back to S&W over the years myself. I documented one of those here on YT. They have taken care of me every time but at the price point they deal at they should never let one out like that.
That .22 mag revolver would be really handy to keep in a tackle box while fishing. I usually keep an American Arms PX .22lr and a stainless Taurus 85 snubnose and a variety of ammo. This gun would be handy to have on you wading and fishing.
You're absolutely right!
We've been waiting for the PD review Buffalo, thank you!
You're welcome, hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for all your videos I have learned so much!!.... Merry Christmas to You and Yours!!!!
Great video Buffalo! I'm so happy I found your channel! Keep up the hustle!
Thank you! Will do!
Hello, been waiting for this video , watched the short. Great job, bought one in 2018 right after I got out of hospital from a near fatal truck crash. Was very weak, so when I felt this gun I knew I wanted it. Stronger now but its one of my favorite guns. Thanks Subscribed !
Welcome to the channel! Glad to have you here. Glad you recovered from the crash.
@@buffalosoutdoors Thanks , glad to be here !
You’re a humble sorta guy so we forgive you for not letting it out that this particular revolver must be a lemon accuracy-wise. That’s why they all weren’t grouped into your usual one ragged hole group Buffalo.
You took the blame for that instead of letting it be the gun’s fault.
LOL! I threw myself on that grenade 🤣🤣
Great video, brother. Man, I'd love to have one of those! Yes, that is pricey.
God bless all here.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!
I would love to see a gel test with the Speer TNT 30 grain hollow points. They are absolutely devastating out of a rifle.
I really wanted a taurus 942 but they're hard to find. However my local academy has two of these 351s! Might splurge a bit more
For the past 10+ years, the 351PD has been my wife's preferred EDC. She also has a 351C. BTW, the frame and cylinder are made from Scandium, not aluminum.
Iirc it is an aluminum alloy using scandium.
It's an aluminum alloy. Edit: I see someone else already beat me to it. Anyway thanks for watching and good on your wife for carrying!
Love my 329PD and that 351PD should make a good backup.
Perfect!
The 351 should make a nice counterpoint to the 329!
Great looking & shooting S&W. Perfect for a jacket or pants pocket trail revolver. Nice holster you have for it. Thanks for another good video. 👍🙏
Glad you enjoyed the video! THank you!
A good looking revolver needs a nice piece of leather as a home. Not Kydex which does have its good points.
That’s one of those revolvers I want and see a need for in the future. On the other hand, I see .22LR as being more versatile. What would be great would be for there to be an optional .22LR seven-round cylinder to go with the package for training and/or ammunition supply shortages. Ideally I’d have both revolvers but they’re not very affordable anymore. I priced .22 Mag at a sporting goods store last week and a 50-round box was as pricy as a 50-round box of 9mm FMJ - around $16 a box. Anyone who’s ever had a .22 K or J frame revolver knows that it’s hard not to keep a brick from disappearing on a lazy afternoon at the range.
Hits are better than misses though. Seems like a sweet gun to shoot.
Thanks for the great comment.
You do the best revolver videos on youtube 👍👍
I like everything about it other than the key lock.
I wish it didn't have it. So I agree with you. I do think it is still a good revolver even with the lock though.
Very well done informational video.🐃👍
Thank you!
Hey Buffalo nice to see you again it’s been a while.
Thanks for waiting on me my friend! I had a lot stuff get in my way this summer and not that it was anything bad but it still took up a lot of my time! I hope I'm back to posting regularly now, that's the plan anyway!
@@buffalosoutdoors That’s great Buffalo glad all is well looking forward to future videos.
It's good to see you in a full length video.
Happy Thanksgiving brother. ❤
It's good to be back! If all goes to plan you'll be seeing a lot more full length videos!
Love these! Nice review Buffalo !
Awesome review! Thank you for posting.
Well done Sir
I have an old .22 lr S&W much like the one in your video. Micro adjustable rear sight's ( amazing how accurate) for 2" barrel's.😊 Mine has that deep marine blue on it. But only hold's 6.
Very cool!
Great Review ❤
Get you some Speed Bees speed loaders , get the kit . You'll love them
Fine vid Brother! Thanks
Another great video from you.
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
Glad you got your baby back! I like what you said about carrying what you shoot best. Thanks for watching.
@@buffalosoutdoors
Thanks bro.
I really appreciate and like your videos. Down to earth and real world informative review.
Nice little gun you got there.
I personally like the big cylinder window that has, and like how the Smith .45 ACP revolvers are like that too. I have no reason why I like it, I just think it looks cool.
I had never even thought about it before until a viewer asked me. It's weird but I never even noticed before...lol Thanks for stopping by my friend.
Some guns just look cool. I love 22 mags myself, I have a Taurus revolver and a Kel tec Semi. Both are very accurate. I dont know why people under estimate them.
Really enjoy your videos Buffalo - keep up the good work !
Thanks so much! Glad you like them!
Another great video, thank you! Super cool piece! Id love to have one for my collection.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it! I wish I'd have gotten one years ago!
Got one. It goes in a pocket and it is so light I almost forget it is there.
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
Beautiful revolver. Buy once cry once.
There's some truth to that!
I’m sure glad you didn’t show me that shirt before the video I would not have been able to concentrate on the gun review!!😂 that’s so awesome 😎!!! Love your shooting skills!! AC/DC and Buffalo 💯💪
Thank you. Listen to a lot of different styles of music but AC/DC is my favorite. Glad you enjoyed the video and you must have made it all the way to the end to see that shirt.
Thanks for the video, this snubby is definitely on my list 🤙.
You're very welcome!
good info and a sweeeet revolver
Picked up a used one at my locsl shop. Shoots great however had several issues with the cylinder locking up when using some aguila ammo. No issues with maxi mag or the speer gold dot.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Buffalo. Good video. Very nice gun. Great shooting. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Thank you my friend!
Dude this is the first video of yours I've seen. You remind me of Jeff Quint. Bravo.
Wow, thanks! He was one of my favorites. I think about him a lot.
Thats a sweet 22 mag for sure
Thanks hillbilly! Always glad to see you in the comments brother!
That’s a real beauty.
Great video, Great channel
Definitely a "keeper" - paired with an MFT minimalist J frame holster, I haven't found a better mid summer carry.
Awesome 👍
I like it. Seems like they could have squeezed and eighth round by increasing the size of the cylinder just a touch?
Well said….. good report …..
Thank you!
Nice one Buffalo
Thank you my friend!
Many people fail to understand that a .22 mag will penetrate some bullet resistant vests.. This revolver would be my choice of ankle holster if I returned to police service above all others.
Cool video. Thanks.
You're welcome!
