Personally, I think you have purchased one of the most accurate, quality firearms for practicing markmanship and trigger control for handguns. Use it with iron sights to acquire muscle memory for sight picture and control with its most affordable round and you can't go wrong. I used it to...
This may not sound too remarkable for many of you, but for me it was thrilling. We took the 336 to a 100 yd range on Sat. The bench we were shooting from was very shaky and I was having trouble hitting the 4 inch orange bull from 100 yards with open sights. Everything I shot was about 6...
I'll have to agree about the P11. Mine is over 2 years old and has over 1000 rounds through it, mostly lead of my own making and has never burped at all. I am sorry to say that it also has only been cleaned up once and still throws everything I put in it downrange. I'll cover it not being...
I always use the FORS method of sight adjustment to keep this straight.
"FO" = front opposite "RS" = rear the same. I always think sight movement backwards until I remember FORS.:)

My carry round is the Remington 158gr LSWCHP +P. This is the historical FBI load. I haven't quite worked up to carrying .357mag loads yet, but I'm working up to it after about 6 months of carrying this instead of a 642 with the same load.

You surely can shoot LSWC in an M&P 340. The only problem I have found with shooting only lead is that I have to clean the weapon more often, about every 150-200 rounds. The cylinder begins binding from debris under the cylinder at about 150 rounds. I reload and most of my reloads...

Hollowpoints can become clogged and not expand when impacting heavy clothing. I didn't do that post, but that's the reason he probably carries fmj in the winter.
I hear ya Marv! Now you're talking. I've seen peoples' faces change when you breathe those three little numbers in order.:what: You don't have to explain +p at all...let them think what they want.
