t is now available in the USA as the Magnum Research bought the rights to produce it in the good old US (Minnesota) and it is now sold for about $500.00 as Micro Desert Eagle. Available on Gunbroker and other internet stores/auction sites. Also you can watch the video made by the Czechshooting...

The big dot fills the rear channel just like it was made to be and, per instructions I cover the target with the dot with horizontal shoulders of the rear sight channel at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions respectively. I can hit the 10/9 circles all day long. So far I tried up to 15 yards...

X/S Big Dot on 340 MP ..and now change of the subject. I recently replaced the standard dot size X/S front sight with a Big Dot. What a difference. The overall dimensions are either the same ot very, very close but the sight picture is a lot better. This revolver now shoots exctly at the POA...

Wear points on the frame. Please look at page 19, post by jfh in his photo#3 he shows the wear points, and among them if you look at two gold dots above the trigger on the left side of the frame you will notice just behind the second dot an arched white line below the recoil plate. That is what...

There are posts and threads in S&W Forum that also describe the problem with cleaning the PD cylinder. Titanium is very tough but it is also very porous and with time acquires deposits that are impossible to clean and remove. Stainless with DLC or even without (in 340 SS) is much easier to...

Thanks. That is exactly what I wanted to know. These would keep the regular grips from rotating - one on each side of the frame (in this case one that sticks through both sides.)

Is the stud on the left or on the right side?

That is strange. Where is the second screw? All the photos I have seen of the CT 405 show only one screw on the left side. That, being besides the point, I would appreciate the answer from any of you who actually have removed the grips. Thanks a lot

Wood grips for 340 M&P? I am contemplating 340 MP mainly for its XS sight. I have Kahr MK9 with Big Dot XS and I think there is nothing better out there for a defensive firearm. Most likely I would only be using +P ammunition and here is a question to all of you who removed the grips from 340...
