Smith & Wesson Model 351C AirLite .22 WMR 7-Shot DAO Revolver – 1.875" Barrel, 11 oz J-Frame
The Smith & Wesson Model 351C AirLite is a micro-size J-frame revolver built for ultralight carry, tipping the scales at roughly 11 ounces unloaded. Chambered in .22 WMR and holding seven rounds, it combines minimal weight with respectable capacity. Its aluminum-alloy construction, fully enclosed hammer, and pinned XS white-dot front sight set it apart from standard rimfire wheel guns.

Built on the proven Centennial J-frame, the Model 351C uses an internal hammer and a double-action-only trigger, eliminating snag points for pocket or ankle carry. The DAO design also keeps operation straightforward and consistent.
An aluminum-alloy cylinder—a rarity in production revolvers—teams with an aluminum frame and barrel shroud to achieve the exceptionally light 11 oz weight. Despite the featherweight build, the cylinder still houses seven .22 WMR cartridges, giving it one extra round over traditional six-shot rimfire revolvers.
The 1.875" stainless-lined barrel provides a durable bore inside the lightweight shroud. A pinned XS white-dot blade front sight and a top-strap U-notch rear offer quick sight alignment without adding bulk.
The matte black anodized finish resists glare and blends with the synthetic boot grip’s pebble texture for secure handling. An internal key lock adds a factory safety feature without external levers.
