Long time since I've been on this site but I thought I'd come take a look. Seems pretty quiet on here but I'm glad the site is still around, the 340 M&P IS STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITE HANDGUNS!! One reason I stopped by again is that I recall one or more good threads on the best pocket holster...

P5 Guy... Does your online moniker mean you own a Walther P5? If it is a P5 Compact, I'd bet I'm not the only one who would enjoy seeing it! I guess just to keep it in the spirit of the 686 club, maybe a photo of it next to a 686 would keep everybody happy! I wish I had a second 686 to post...

Welcome to the club!! Stowbilly and 1 old, welcome to the club! 360's are, from what I've read, also as welcomed here as the 340 series! 1 old you're making life tough for me with that photo of the Smith model 38 Bodyguard Airweight, I've wanted one of those for YEARS. Beautiful gun! Right now...

Thanks Dennis, and a Happy Thanksgiving back at ya' and to all our members in the 340 group whose posts make this place such an entertaining, interesting, and enjoyable learning experience! :-)

R.W. Dale R.W. Dale, very nice revolver! I have a question for you, how many rounds do you have through your 386 and did you buy the gun new? I'm trying to determine how many rounds it takes before the black PVD coating on the stainless cylinders acquires those powder marks. Thanks...

It's good to see you're still with us in the 686 "forum" Nemat! ;)

Condition is everything Rondog, value depends upon condition. Search the web to learn how to evaluate a used revolver, and first things first, make sure the revolver is not worn out or nearing the end of its life. Second, though you may not have the time, watch auctions on gunbroker, see...

I wish I saved a couple of photos of that custom 586 or 686, don't remember which it was exactly, it was an exceptional gun. I was going to write the guy to ask him to tell the new owner to give me first dibs on it if he ever wanted to part with it and I was in a better position cash wise but I...

Radagast, I've seen those on gunbroker from time to time, I've thought about buying one and may one day do so. I really like the L frame, but the custom job I saw some time ago, that was a work of art that not even the custom shop could replicate, well they could if they set their mind to it...

It's ALIVE! Fishslayer, it's good to see somebody else is keeping this forum alive! Nice gun you've got there, I really like the L frame Smiths, and enjoyed shooting my own a few weeks ago. About a year ago on some website there was a custom L frame for sale, the barrel was shortened to...

I solved the recoil problem of the 340 M&P As you've noticed, I tend to modify guns, you saw my slightly modified Glock 19 that comes in three ultra concealable bite sized pieces, well, I then modified another 340 M&P, again, "slightly", to handle the recoil problem and the problem has been...

My factory midnight black 686 I just found out about this site and I'm happy to have found it! Here is my black stainless 686 I bought new years ago, 1990 if I recall. Sadly, I was young and dumb at the time and I let a "gunsmith" tune the action, and he buggered a screw and put a tiny scratch...

You can't beat the Glock 19 Here is my favorite, a modified Glock 19 with fifteen round magazine, in three wonderful bite sized pieces... :evil:

My 340 M&P with speedloader Here you see my 340 M&P with the excellent speed loader made by Smith & Wesson, very fast reload... :)

Speed loaders... Smith & Wesson makes an excellent speed loader for the 340 series...

jp0319 or anyone selling a 340 M&P "no lock" Hi jp0319, I've posted recently that I was looking for a no lock 340 M&P but I missed yours because I've not checked this forum board in about 6 days, oops!!! Jp, if your sale does not go through for whatever reason, please contact me via private...

That's a funny story OldTman It's such simple pleasures that add great joy to the days of our lives. I don't have a big bore .44 Magnum snub, though I've been tempted to buy a Night Guard .44 Magnum snub, maybe one day. If you shoot .357 Magnum through your Smith 340 you may get the same...

Ammo suggestion I read a suggestion for ammo for the 340 M&P on Gunblast, the author suggests using Corbon Pow'rball 100 grain .357 ammo which attains some 1477 FPS out of the short 340 barrel and that the recoil is far more manageable than other .357 ammo. He claims fast follow up shots at 25...

It's been awhile... I haven't been here for awhile but I'm back. I've taken that stainless .357 J frame model 60 I mentioned to the range, also my model 37-2 Airweight .38 Special, and my 340 M&P. The 22 ounce 60 was a pleasure to shoot, and firing single action with full house .357, I was able...

Well for what it's worth, I woke this morning having not a clue that later today was I to buy myself a used Smith and Wesson all stainless J frame Model 60 in .357 Magnum, no lock, with a forged hammer and trigger. I'm sure many of you know the story, you're in a gun shop, and there it is...
