S&W 43C...FINALLY got it :)

[cathellsk]

Since first announced at SHOT 2 years ago I've been waiting to get one of these. Bud's Gun Shop's LEO discounted website budspolicesupply showed it in stock late last night. I called first thing this morning to verify it was still there and got them to hold it till I got there to pick it up.

Trigger is smooth, alittle heavy, but doesn't seem any worse than any other .38 J frame new from Smith these days. I got some snap caps and have been dryfiring it to help smooth the pull some. Hopefully will get to the range tomorrow, weather permitting.

what is that 22lr ?

.22 magnum I believe.

[Timbonez]

It is .22 LR.

[cathellsk]

It is .22 LR.

You are correct sir. The 43C is an 8 shot .22LR Centennial J frame with no lock and XS Sights front sight like the M&P J frames but a white dot instead of tritium. The 351C is the same but a 7 shot .22WMR.

Congrats! Glad to see they're finally starting to eek out. I've been waiting for one for my better half to use as a companion to her 642.

It'll be interesting to see if anyone (Apex?) can lighten the trigger up on these while keeping good ignition.
