I’m too ignorant to know if they make a shrouded hammer .22, but that would be something I could definitely see for waistband carry like the picture shows.

The trigger on those SUCKS.

I took a gent to ER that had 13 22LR in his big fat gut. If all you can get is a 22, by all means carry one till you can get a bigger caliber.

I've never seen a shrouded one, but I know there's a hammerless one available in 22lr and 22mag, looks identical to the 442

Ok so, the 43C is a 442 clone in 22LR, 8 shot, 11.5oz.

The 351C is a 442 clone in 22mag, 7 shot, 11.5oz.

The 351PD is your standard exposed hammer J frame, in 22mag, 7 shot, at 11.2oz.

For comparison, the mainly plastic Ruger LCR in 22LR is 14.9oz, closer in weight to a Glock 43 than the Airweight S&Ws.
