 I had you in mind Nem when I put the ESEE in there. If I would have had some "tongue" from the freezer I would have used that instead of a Roma. I am going to have to bring these over.....I'm not letting them die on page 47, never to be seen?   I know Tony has been anxiously awaiting some pumpkin pics.

I pocket carry a M&P 340 with the smaller 405 grips when I pocket carry a revolver. I don't see why with the right pockets though why the 305s wouldn't pocket carry. I tried Hogue Monogrips on a J Frame in pocket carry mode (similar size to 305) for awhile. Some pockets it worked some it didn't. I think the most versatile CT grips all around for pocket carry are no doubt the 405s. http://www.opticsplanet.com/crimson-...n-j-frame.html I always wanted to try the 305s and found a deal I couldn't turn down. We're I going to IWB or OWB a J Frame the 305s, would be my first choice. Nice ergonomics and full grip.

Ok, I own a 642.
What's the best rounds to carry in it that are not +p?

I like the Remington R38S12 158 gr LHPSWC round - but it is +P rated and produces a less than comfortable recoil. That makes them too much for a lot of folks, including me most of the time lately. My backup is an old friend - a milder shooting 148gr LWC - a target round! It, unlike LRN & LSWC rounds, starts out at a diameter of .357" - maximizes the wound channel (The RN & SWC rounds' wound channels tend to close up.) for more rapid exsanguination. No, it won't shatter a water buffalo's hip - may not even make it through a human chest plate. But - it should do better at taking the 'fight' out of an attacker than possibly any other non +P round from a snub-nosed .38. Just my opinion, of course... and worth no mre than it cost (free!). Last year, I lucked into a few boxes of Zero ammo reloads of that round on sale locally - $7.48/50 - a steal.
Stainz PS flounder22 - we just got back from Gulf Shores and the Shrimp Festival -- great weather - fantastic time. My 642 in my pocket the whole time, of course. |

442 & 360
In both guns I carry and shoot GDHP +P 124 grainers and they are easy for me to control and get second/follow up shots.
The 360 can take .357,but at 9 ounces I am not that young and strong.

According to the 2012 S&W catalog, the 340 & 360 PDs, with their Al/Sc frame, SS barrel liner, and Ti cylinder, weigh in at 11.2 oz. The M&P 340, with it's SS cylinder, weighs 13.3 oz. The lightest J-frame is the 351C or 351PD, both .22 Magnums with Al 7-shot cylinders, at 10.8 oz.
In the 'Duh...' department, some years back, I shot a "friend's" 340PD - loaded with 'hot' CorBon .357M's - the absolutely most painful handgun to shoot, IMHO - there is no mass - and nothing to hold on to. I shot over a thousand real .454's from my Ruger SRH as well as several .500 Magnums, .50AE DEII, and lots of .44 Magnums over the years. They were fun in comparison! 9 oz? Did it have a cylinder?

It had no cylinder. Subtract the cylinder mass from the total revolver mass = 9 oz. The cylinder was replaced by photons that kept the cartridges in place. (I hope you know I'm joking here ...) |

Started researching the 642/442 for purchase and found this thread.
WOW! What a great resource for people looking to purchase a 442 or 642. I read all 8 pages straight through. Thanks to everyone. Next time at the gun shop, I'm looking for a 442. |

Finally got my 442 a few days ago. I have been dry firing like a mad man and it is smoothing out. Still heavy, but definitely better. Going to shoot it this weekend. Any thoughts on the 9 lb trigger kit?
I cant wait to shoot this thing!

I put the Apex Carry/Duty Spring kit in my M&P340, and love it. Don't have a pull device, but it feels around 10-11 pounds. Still heavy enough for reliable ignition. Also lightly stoned the rebound slide while it was out, and several hundred dry-fires.

Good idea on the Apex, which is applicable for the X42 items and all J Frames I am assuming. Any downside to these conversions?

Apex makes a good trigger for the X42? Yeah? That is...intriguing.
