Smith & Wesson Model 351PD AirLite .22 WMR 7-Shot J-Frame Revolver, Scandium Alloy Frame
The Smith & Wesson Model 351PD AirLite pairs a scandium-alloy J-frame with a 7-round .22 WMR cylinder, delivering a remarkably light snub-nose revolver that still offers full double-action/single-action operation. A titanium alloy cylinder, stainless-lined shrouded barrel, and Hi-Viz fiber-optic front sight round out a package weighing about 11 ounces. The CRD-prefix serial number places this revolver in contemporary production, making it one of the few factory-built .22 WMR carry options available today.

What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 351PD AirLite revolver
The AirLite PD series is built around Smith & Wesson’s scandium-alloy frame, keeping weight extremely low without sacrificing strength. Combined with a titanium cylinder, the result is an 11-ounce revolver that is easy to carry and quick to bring on target.
This model retains an exposed hammer for traditional double-action/single-action firing, setting it apart from its hammerless sibling, the 351C. Shooters who prefer a single-action option for a lighter trigger pull will appreciate this configuration.
The 1.875-inch stainless-lined barrel is fully shrouded, protecting the ejector rod while maintaining a compact profile. Chambered in .22 WMR, the cylinder holds seven rounds—two more than most centerfire J-frames—offering extra capacity without additional bulk.
Sight acquisition is fast thanks to a Hi-Viz orange fiber-optic front sight paired with a fixed rear notch. Laminated rosewood finger-groove boot grips provide a secure hold and complement the matte black finish of the frame and cylinder.
