I purchased a S&W 351C a few months ago. It's a great, little, light weight revolver. At the range it was accurate, but there was one small problem. I wanted to fire 150 rounds on this particular day. As I got close to 100 rounds the revolver was heating up. The revolver stopped rotating with rounds in the cylinder, and became very difficult to eject spent rounds. What happened was the aluminum cylinder became hot, and expanded, which binded up the revolver. Once cooled down to room temp., everything worked ok. So don't get them to hot, and the revolver should work fine.
