Smith & Wesson M351 103351 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

351 = A Winner

I have owned this handgun for the past 5 years. Easy to use and carry and sounds like a 38 SPL when shot - but no recoil

Good gun but....

I had to send mine back to S&W for repair/inspection due to pitting or corrosion around the firing pin bushing. That and the frame looked like it was taking a beating although I only owned it for 11 months and shot 500 rounds thru it with only a handf

Simple, reliable, and powerful.

This is the ideal handgun for a novice shooter. All you do is point and squeeze the trigger. Much simpler to operate than an automatic. It does not even have or need a safety. You can leave it fully loaded all the time, without the spring fatigue you get

Best CCW with some practice

J frame revolvers are not easy to shoot well if you do not practice, BUT if you practice even a little bit, which anyone carrying a gun SHOULD do, there really is no better option for general concealed carry. Simple, reliable, adequate power and in a size

A no worry point and shoot pistol.

Light weight easy to hide and carrie in your pocket.

Very pleased

Due to what was on sale, I had a choice between the .38 special 642 with the internal lock and the 442 without the lock. Both were the same price. I went with the 442 and am very pleased I did. I didn’t like the idea of the lock, nor do I like the hole wh

Concealibility, reliability, and maintenance.

This revolver fulfills the above referenced qualities quite well. While I would prefer having the ability to cock the firearm, single action, for better accuracy, it makes up for this downfall with up close, fast response.

Ultimate Carry Gun!

I bought this just over a year ago. I also have a Shield but I keep finding myself reaching for this one. I love the simplicity and reliability. Simple as a hammer. Works every time. Combine with a Versacarry and this will be your everyday carry.

light weight revolver

This is by far the lightest revolver I have even owned and I have owned several. I would have given it a 5 star but I have not fired it yet. I bought it with the intention of using it as a back up when hunting or venturing into the forest. The .38 caliber

Not a gun for a woman

I got this gun on the recommendation from a saleslady. Having never shot one I took her word for it that it was a great gun to start with. I couldn't even use it for my CPL training. It has an awful recoil that stung my hand. Even my husband dislikes shoo

happy!

Nice gun! Fits easily in front pocket and on't have to worry about hammer getting snagged!

642 Airweight: Very Pleased

My first center-fire revolver. Very light weight, but I did not find the recoil objectionable. Fired about 24 rounds the first time- no complaints. Grips fit my hand well. Accuracy was good at 25 feet: everything was on target. The sights are almost non-e

Married Christmas

Bought this for my wife for Christmas. She is very pleased with ease of use and the laser is a confidence booster. right out of the box it was right on.

Fantastic concealed carry.

I have the 642 and my wife has the 637. They are very accurate, comfortable to shoot, light weight and always reliable. Of all the guns we own, the Smith and Wesson J frame is my "go to" gun for everyday carry. If I ever need a gun, I know these

First Hand Gun Purchase... S&W 642 Airweight

I spent a lot of time shopping for my first self defense pistol and admittedly tried to cover way too many contingencies for one purchase. My first concern was that I wanted something my wife and I could both use, so I wanted to go simple and a revolver s

S & W 637-2 Accuracy!

Surprised at the accuracy from a snub nose revolver. About 500 rounds down range, and it gets better, the more I use it. At 30 ft., able to hit 8 inch target consistently.Simple, reliable, dependable, and fun to shoot. What else do you need? Love it!

Small in Size, Big in Performance

Not counting a Taurus .357 I purchased and returned the same day, this is my first wheel gun. I have only fired about 250 rounds out of it at this time, but so far I really like it. For such a short barrel it is amazingly accurate. I can hit the forehead

Awesome!

I purchased this pistol for my wife to carry once she gets her CC licence. It's super light weight but still feels very solid and didn't have as much kick as I was expecting for the weight. I haven't shot the +P rounds yet but I expect it to be a pleaseur

Mighty Mouse

Lightweight and shockingly accurate when firing. This little gun surprised the heck out of me. No expert recommends the Air weight. I say BS. For concealed carry reliability you can't go wrong. +P is the way to go for ammo.

Excellent concealed carry weapon

This was one of the first handguns of many that I bought several years ago. It is the most used concealed carry weapon that we have. I prefer the feel and punch of a Model 60 or a medium-sized semi-auto but there are times and attire that make this little

Did something right

Got my wife the 637 w lasergrip. She never liked to use my semi-autos, mainly the slide actions. Just wanted to point and shoot with a red dot. So after a long time deciding I went and got this for her. She was delighted when she saw it because it meant I

Great Revolver

Excellent revolver! Just got it and put over 100 rounds through it at the range...no hiccups at all. Trigger is what I've come to expect from a S&W revolver (I have a model 37 as well). Smooth yet firm. Accuracy is great for a snubby. Conceals nicely

Nice Pistol But

Bought this for my wife, trigger pull is to heavy for her, going to have to take to gunshop to have trigger pull lightened up.

excellent small frame revolver

I bought a model 642 I won,t bore you with a long drawnout review,revolver is light weight,very accurate at 13 yards,finish is great workman ship is excellent and easy to clean.The only addition I made is larger grips cause I have large paws. don,t have t

Excellent choice for ccw

I've had a model 38-2 for more than 20 years. During that time, many 9mm and .40 autos have come and gone, but that well-worn j-frame continues to quietly and unobtrusively accompany me on a daily basis. When my wife got her ccw, I suggested a j-frame, si

Model 642

I really enjoy this revolver. It's always with me as a primary or backup. This gun is so light that you will forget it's there. Very easy to conceal. Smooth trigger pull when new and becomes very good when broken in. Has a fair (not obnoxious) amount of r

great pocket gun

The shielded hammer makes it a great gun to carry. It shoots single or double action.

Great CCW Pistol With S&W Build Quality.

This was my first hand gun purchase for CCW home and home defense. Reliable as the day is long. I put a CT laser on it for indoor use. 38SPL+P has good kick and stopping power. I have the version with no hammer and is the best CCW gun out there. More conc

Excellent Gun

I bought this gun as a conceal carry gun. I was worried about the cylinder size for carry, but with the purchase of a cheap pocket holster that doubt went away. I carry this revolver everywhere with absolutely no problem. The gun fires awesome very little

S & W 638 and Model 60

I bought the S&W 638 and traded it for a Glock it in three months, I found it to be inaccurate and not a fun gun to shoot. The worst hand gunI ever owned,

Model 60

The Model 60 is a great gun for home defense or concealed-carry although some people may find it a little heavy to carry all day. I've put app. 500 rounds through this gun and find it very accurate considering the barrel length.No problems whatsoever, jus

Great purchase

I bought this pistol for my daughter. She wanted a concealed carry pistol and the salesman from Bass Pro recommended this one. He was right. This firearm is very safe, very easy to operated and has plenty of power. The hammerless design doesn't hang on an

642 CR

Bought this for my wife. We had been looking at the S&W Bodyguard .38 but could not find one anymore. We saw this in the store and she checked out the pistol and liked it just as much as the Bodyguard. Shoots real nice, the laser makes ot easier for h

S&W 637 with Laser Grips is Smooth and Accurate

Bought this for my wife who is a novice shooter for personal defense. She was hitting drink bottles everytime from 15 to 20 yards... yes yards. Once the laser was sighted in, she didn't miss, even in very dim light (dusk at the range) she nailed the bottl

AWESOME

Ive owned a 638 for about a yr now and i must say it is a great quality built gun for the price, its very sturdy, and is a great concealed carry weapon. When you wear it on your hip its so light sometimes you forget about it. It shoots great at close rang

Model 638 J frame

I've been carrying a variety of 9mm semi-auto pocket guns(I am a CCW permit holder). My Glock 26 has been the most accurate and the only one that can be described as reliable. But it does jam on rare occasions and it too bulky for pocket carry.

Loads of Fun

This is the third revolver I have purchased, picked it up one week ago. I put 50 rounds through it and it has already become my favorite handgun. Accuracy always comes down to the shooter (unless there is some sort of machining error, etc) and I was "

Great revolver!!

So far I have been impressed with the S&W 638.I dont care for the internal lock and wish S&W would dump it.Fit and finish were excellent.Timing was perfect and the DA/SA modes very smooth.Accuracy was also very good and shot to POA with 158 +p LSW

Great for CCW!

As a single woman who spends a lot of time outdoors, I got my CCW as soon as possible. I'd used a shotgun plenty of times, but never a handgun, and I wanted something that was: 1) easy to carry, 2) good for self-defense and would leave the wind whistling

Best overall CC handgun

Models are identical, except for finish - 642 (silver) & 442 (black) - 15+ oz unloaded, 5-shot cylinder for .38 SPCL & .38+P ammo. Factory grips are small, but enhance concealability. Internal hammer, intended to avoid snagging in pocket or holste

Light and Powerful

Purchased this gun for my wife as he can not pull the slide back on our HK and HiPower 9mm pistols. Very lingt and well made and amazingly accurae for such a short barrel. What really surprised was the kick. You get to feel the full force of those .38 Spl

442

Great gun for CC. Belt holster or coat pocket. Reliability? Can't find better. +P rounds are very accuarate. Love this gun!

Great gun

Fun to shoot, reliable and accurate. I have a big hand and not a problem. I find the kick very mild and the trigger even on double action is great. Alsogreat for women that might have problems working the slide of a semi-auto pistol. Great for concealment

S&W 642

Excellent go everywhere pocket gun with acceptable accuracy. Lightweight and snag proof.

Best light weight purchase

After carring a large frame 357 Colt for 30 years. I purchased a S&W 642 in April. To my surprise this weapon is an excellent purchase. You don't know your carrying it. You can carry it in a pocket or belt holster with out any problems. The weapon han

good ccw gun

I bought this as an alternate ccw weapon. It is very light weight and compact, so easy to carry. I've found the revolver to be a little more bulky than an auto pistol, but still pretty good. I'm not a great marksman and have found this lightweight gun to

642 Airweight - I never leave home w/out it

Best EVERY day CC gun I have found. I'd rather have 5 .38spc +ps in my pocket, than 12 .45acps at home. It slips easily into the front pocket of most of my pants and shorts (IWB for thin clothing). It's so light I forget it's there. Easy to operate in any

642 Airweight

The 642 revolver I bought a year and a half ago from Cabelas is my constant companion.

The 638 is great!

I own a 638 Airwieght. It's snag free with a shrouded hammer, light wieght, accurate very concealable and packs a punch with the 38 spc.This is a great CC gun. I've taken it all over and even hiked up mountains with it. You forget it's even there.If your

I own the 637 airweight snubby

This is the real deal, I love it so much I want to buy another one. It is so light weight in my pocket I can carry it all day where ever I go. It gets a lot of use, unlike my CZ or Kimber, all safe queens. The recoil is pretty tame, not sure why some peop
