What's Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 351 C AirLite .22 WMR revolver
This Model 351 C is a Centennial-pattern J-Frame with a double-action-only trigger and an internal hammer for a snag-resistant profile. Its 7-round cylinder offers notable capacity for a rimfire revolver in this size class, making it a practical choice for those who prefer .22 WMR in an ultra-compact format.
Weighing approximately 11.5 oz unloaded and measuring about 6.3 in overall, the AirLite construction keeps carry light and manageable. The 1.875 in barrel length maintains the revolver’s compact footprint while retaining the handling characteristics users expect from a J-Frame.
The barrel uses a shrouded assembly with a stainless-steel liner, with the liner visible at the muzzle. This design pairs low weight with a steel bore surface. The aluminum-alloy frame and cylinder are finished in matte black for a uniform, low-glare appearance.
Sight alignment is straightforward with a pinned white-dot front blade and a fixed U-notch trough rear. Black textured synthetic boot-style grips provide a secure hold while maintaining minimal bulk.
Manufactured in the United States and marked with S&W Springfield, MA, U.S.A. factory roll marks, the Model 351 C AirLite was introduced in 2011 and remains a current-production offering.
