Pappy,
I do wear snake gaiters but still am quite wary.

That S&W Model 351PD of yours,I consider that a total classic.

Ever contact S&W to see if they could fit a 22LR cylder to it als well.

I have a Charter 22 snubby that has both the 22lr and 22 mag cylinder.

What rig do you carry it in???

Wayne
