S&W .22 LR model 43C No-Lock Centennial Air Lite 2 inch Black 8 Shot NIB Smith & Wesson 22 Long Rifle economy variant of the 317 No Lock 43-C

frills version of the immensely popular but pricey 317. It weighs in at only 10.6 ounces, about the same as its Scandium Center Fire Magnum siblings from the Smith & Wesson line. This revolver features the standard groove rear sight, and a readily visible sight. The double action trigger pull is always stiff on Airlites, and that is necessary to produce sufficient firing pin pressure so that hard-primer ammo like CCI will ignite dependably. Factory specs area as follows: caliber .22 Short, Long, Long Rifle, and LR Shotshell interchangeably; full time double action; 1 7/8 inch barrel; 6 3/16 inches over all length ; weight empty 10.6 ounces; cylinder capacity 8 rounds; frame size same as M or J frame; metal finish black matte; finger groove combat stippled texture Smith & Wesson boot grips; MIM, metal-injection .275 smooth face combat case colored molded trigger and completely enclosed hammer. Now. A word about finish. In the lightweight Smith & Wessons, especially those with scandium, titanium, and high tensile aluminum alloy frames like these, carbon residue is a constant problem on the white finished revolvers. Black is better; black finish revolvers do not show carbon as bad as the white ones, and the carbon is extremely difficult to remove on scandium or titanium. The completely enclosed hammer makes this revolver desirable for two reasons; one, a frightened user cannot back the hammer, and the only way it will fire is a deliberate double action pull, and two, this Centennial configuration is ideal for pocket and purse concealment with ready, no-snag access.
