    Finger fiddled a 35i at the LGS. Smooth, but a tad heavy. I'm thinking (based on my handling) that trading those springs will work.

    Down the road from Quantrill's big raid.
    Bumping this up instead of starting a new thead.


    Does anyone have any time shooting the 351 or any of the other S&W .22mag snubs? I have heard that the 351 has issues with ejection.


    I have a 317 that I use for training, but I am really interested in one of the .22mags to go with my .22lr

    Haven't noticed an ejection problem, but have noticed an extremely heavy trigger on the 351. I have a 43C and 351C that are sitting unused, in favor of my training 317, ping me if you want more info.

    Wolf Kit in a 351c

    Had the 9# hammer spring and 13# rebound spring installed in my 351c. I get about 2 misfires every cylinder (7rounds). Am on the hunt for a 10# spring that will fit. Will also try the light Apex firing pin spring to help with detonation. Otherwise its back to the original hammer spring. Speer Gold Dots perform best so far.

    The word I have gotten from S&W, Apex and Bill Rogers is to leave the stock springs alone in the .22/.22 mag revolvers if you value reliable ignition.

    For what it's worth - I wanted a 317 but didn't want to pony up $600+ for it so I just got a Ruger LCR22 for the same purpose for about $350. So far so good, 50 rounds so far. Should serve the trigger training purpose. It won't make as nifty a "kit gun" to pot the odd squirrel but if I want that very badly I can go Crimson Trace. It's ugly as sin though; unlike the elegant J frames.

    Actually, most sins are considerably more attractive than an LCR.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    On the .22's you can change the rebound slide spring down several pounds from stock, without compromising ignition by retaining the stock mainspring. The factory rebound spring is IIRC around 17 lbs. I typically go down to the 14 lb Wolff spring without experiencing sluggish trigger return.
