They were great to do business with. Absolutely seamles deal, shipped to my tansfer in FL.
I have had three people get their hands on the 340 and when they were finished it was all smiles, but having said that I did not take them beyond 38 plus P SGD 135gr for shorties.
They loved the weight and the fact that there is no limitation on .357 loads.
The DLS black vapor deposition coating isn't pretty, you can't polish it, oils just seem to absorb or dry up. If you are looking for pretty get a nickel plated or nice blued J frame.
M&P 340 is for pocket carry in a Mika roundcut holster, kicking azz and taking names. It is the J frame Chuck Norris would carry if he needed a gun.
13.3 ounces and IMO the finest sighting system ever put on a snub. After almost a year I like this J frame better every time I take it out.
Here it is after 400 hundred rounds cleaned up for Thanksgiving.
Here it is after a 100 round workout including +P and .357 135 gr SGD for short barrels, wearing the Hogue Monogrips.
Here's pretty. My opera carry.
Dang. It's a California lovefest. You guys need to start a seperate thread. California shooters or some such.
