The Model 351PD AirLite PD pairs a 7-shot .22 WMR cylinder with a 1.88 in snub barrel in the proven S&W J-Frame format. The lightweight alloy construction keeps weight to roughly 10.6–10.8 oz unloaded, with an overall length of about 6.19 in, making it notably compact and easy to carry.
This revolver uses a double-action/single-action system with a smooth trigger and an exposed, checkered hammer. It incorporates S&W's internal keyed lock safety feature. The frame is finished in black, and the revolver carries the familiar J-Frame handling characteristics in a rimfire configuration.
Sighting is straightforward and durable, with a fixed rear notch machined into the topstrap and a pinned Hi-Viz orange fiber-optic front sight that provides a bright aiming reference. The setup is simple and robust for a snub-length rimfire revolver.
This example is customized with an installed 'The Rogers GRIPPER' black rubber finger-groove grip for enhanced purchase, while the original factory grips are included. Correct model markings are present, including the 351PD stamp on the yoke/crane, the 'AirLite PD' script on the frame, and right-side 'SPFLD, MA S&W U.S.A.' markings with the S&W logo. Made in the USA.
