The Smith & Wesson Model 350 delivers straight-wall cartridge performance in a platform built for serious hunting applications. This X-Frame revolver chambers the versatile 350 Legend cartridge, providing flat trajectory and substantial energy transfer for medium game hunting where rifle restrictions apply.
What Makes This Different
The X-Frame construction represents Smith & Wesson's largest revolver platform, specifically engineered to handle high-pressure straight-wall cartridges like the 350 Legend. Unlike standard frame revolvers limited to traditional handgun cartridges, this platform accommodates rifle-caliber rounds while maintaining the reliability of a wheel gun. The 7.5-inch barrel length optimizes velocity retention and accuracy potential compared to shorter hunting revolvers.
Key Features
- X-Frame stainless steel construction handles 350 Legend pressures safely
- 7.5-inch satin stainless steel barrel maximizes cartridge velocity
- 7-round cylinder capacity provides multiple shot opportunities
- Black finger-grooved synthetic grip enhances control during recoil
- Exposed hammer allows single-action precision shooting
- Internal lock safety system prevents unauthorized use
- Stainless steel cylinder and frame resist corrosion in field conditions
The 350 Legend cartridge bridges the gap between traditional handgun rounds and rifle cartridges, making this revolver suitable for hunting in straight-wall cartridge zones. The substantial frame mass helps manage recoil from the rifle-caliber ammunition, while the precision-rifled barrel maintains accuracy at extended handgun ranges. Field hunters appreciate the reliability advantage revolvers provide over semi-automatic platforms in adverse conditions.
