Looks like Midway should have it soon. It's what I'm planning on using in my 340PD.

Got my 340 back from S&W in about a week with a new cylinder. Now it shoots great and I don't have any problems removing the .357 brass. I wonder how badly out of spec the old cylinder was... :uhoh:

I use MPro7 cleaner plus Shooter's Choice FP-10 lube on my handguns, including a scandium S&W 340PD. No problems here.

I've spent a few minutes trying to figure out what this means, but I just can't. What am I missing? :confused:

I use one of the Rust Blocker shields in my safe. I live in South FL with lots of humidity and high temps, and my safe is in the garage (practicality keeps it there, unfortunately). I've got a variety of parkerized, blued, and stainless guns and none have rusted at all in the 8 months I've had...

Mine was a double hook. I replaced it with the Red Star Arms adjustable single hook.

I saw one of these at the range the other weekend. The shooter said it generated something like 150 lb. of free recoil.

I wouldn't call my self a serious AR guy like Zak since I don't have anywhere near his level of experience, but I have built a few ARs and have never had a malf in any of them after thousands of rounds. The keys to a reliable weapon are (1) to use quality parts in assembly, (2) put them...

I bought the gun from Allan's Armory; he evidently checks it for condition but does not check for function. The bolt and chamber look great, and the bore looks shiny with sharply defined lands & grooves. I'm not terribly concerned that the rifle's going to blow up on me, but it never hurts to...

I looked around at Midway & Brownells, then widened my search, but was unable to find headspace gauges for 7.5x55 Swiss. Evidently they're not readily available. All the numbers match on my K31s, and they're in fine shape, so I'll probably go with the disasemble, clean, inspect, and shoot...

My understanding is that KAC was somehow punishing the owner for some public comments he made. Evidently KAC shipped RAS II Shot Show Specials to all other dealers prior to shipping to Midwest. Note that I have no evidence to support this, only conjecture. Having said that, I've bought from...

I would say that's not obvious at all. In fact, to say that it's obvious that I don't place much value on my personal health/safety/life is absurd. If I didn't, do you think I would have posted this question? Not likely - I probably would have gone out back and fired off a few rounds...

I recently picked up a new (to me) Schmidt-Rubin K31 and am looking forward to shooting it for the first time. However, before I do, I think I should get it checked by a gunsmith to make sure it's not going to blow up on me. If I walk into the local shop and ask for the smith to "check it...

You may be referring to the 342PD. S&W evidently decided that it wasn't necessary to have two such similar revolvers when the 340PD could shoot .38 Spl along with .357 Magnum.

Thanks for all the responses. I ended up scrubbing the cylinder with a bronze brush and MPro7 to remove what was probably leading, but wasn't sure I got everything out. I ended up sending the revolver back to the factory just in case - no sense taking any chances when S&W's warranty is what it is.

I recently decided to try pocket carry with a DA revolver, so I picked up a great condition used 340PD and a pair of Crimson Trace Lasergrips. I bought the gun from a reputable local dealer that had a table at the gunshow. When I took the gun to the range for the first time, I shot Remington...

Over the last few years I've simplified my cleaning procedure - I got tired of having a dozen or so cleaners, lubes, etc. My procedure is this: disassemble, spray down all metal parts (making sure entire bore is coated) with MPro7, and let set for a few minutes. Then, using a soft rag &...

My wife has the 617 in stainless, ported model. It's a great gun, though I've never carried it. I went with a S&W 340PD for daily carry (just got it so haven't even shot it yet). We did have a problem with the cylinder latch not working, but we sent it back to Taurus and they fixed it at no...

I have three lightweight uppers: a Colt 6530 A2, an all-Colt home-built flattop lightweight, and a home-built Bushmaster Superlight with RRA flattop upper. All three are reliably accurate to a couple of MOA. I never weighed them so I don't know specifics, but they're substantially lighter than...
