Just read someone on the hipoint forum picked one up for $274 OTD. At that price I would probably buy too. Come on now, a 45 carbine for less than $300.

stolivar, I think I tried using the 940 clips once but they were too thick and would bind the cylinder. I still have a few left maybe I'll try again next range session.

I currently own a Taurus 905 SS concealed hammer that I purchased used. It has been trouble free, feeding, firing, and extracting several hundred rds of various 9mm ammo. I have owned a S&W 940, a Ruger speed six and an SP101 all 9s. In my experience the latter 9mm revolvers were all more...

Can the 36 handle a steady diet of .38+P?

For the money You will not find a lighter, slimmer, 9mm pistol than the PF9. Other sub-compact 9s in this price category are usually bulkier and heavier. I would consider the recoil to be a 3 on your scale. It would make a great purse gun for your wife if she is not too recoil shy. You could...

I'm looking to buy a PT145. I've been reading a lot of good reports and the price is right.

Katana8869, If you have had a chance to shoot other sub-compact 45s, how would you compare the pt145 shooting dynamics to the others?

Hawkn, I don't believe any 9mm revolvers are currently being manufactured today so you would have to search for one. I would recommend a Taurus 905 if you wanted to get started because it is less expensive and maybe easier to find. From my experience the Rugers would be next in line and then...

Thanks, Tifosi. I think the 340 looks better all black. May I ask approximately how many rds you have fired? On another note, 640 cylinders are plentiful and easy to get as opposed to an M&P cylinder. Does anyone know how difficult it would be for me to fit a new SS cylinder into my 340? Or...

The 340PD has the scandium frame and the Titanium cylinder and weighs in at a little over 11oz. The 340MP has a scandium frame a steel cylinder and weighs in at a little over 13 oz. You can fire no less than a 120 gr bullets in the 340pd; it says so right on the barrel. Both 340s have scandium...

Tifosi would you mind posting pictures of your hybrid? I am very interested in converting my 340PD.

The S&W rep I spoke with recently said the 640 cylinders were $129, the fitting of the cylinder was $60 and shipping was $14. I have seen new 640 cylinders for about $20 less. If you can do your own fitting and find a good used cylinder it might not be cost prohibitive.

Ti to steel cylinder swap I called S&W Customer Support Center today concerning the cylinder swap. The first rep I spoke with (didn't catch his name) said it can be done. But it was not a part they had in stock yet. I forgot to ask him if a 640 cylinder assembly would work. So I called again...

I recently acquired a used 340pd Hi-Viz. Have not had a chance to shoot it yet. I just found out about steel cylinder 340MPs, which brought a question to my mind. Is it possible to buy a steel cylinder and swap it out with my Ti cylinder?

The conversion does seem a bit pricey. But what if you just bought a 940 cylinder and had it fitted to an existing J-Frame. It may be less costly. The question remains which .38+P J-frame revisions will accept a 940 cylinder.
