    M&p 340

    For what its worth, I had problems with my MP340 as shown in earlier posts. After two returns back to SW, they sent me a new MP340 and so far so good. I would call SW customer service asap as they are very good in responding to you problems. My concern still is that as much as I like the...

    M&p 340

    I had returned my MP340 to SW twice for the revolver not firing and and on the second return for the cylinder also not rotating and locked after firing a .357. Customer service was excellent and they sent me a replacement which I have not tried out yet. If this happens again to this new MP340...

    442-2 failed to fire multiple times

    I have a similar problem with an MP340 and had sent it back two times with the same problem of the rounds not firing each time the trigger was pulled. In addition the last time I had a fired .357 freeze the cylinder.. Sent it back to Smith and Wesson and they are sending me a replacement...

    M&p 340

    I have the MP340 with laser grips and like them just fine. I do not have large hands but try different ways to grip the ct's to find what is best for you. The 405's I have do help in recoil with +p and .357s but are still stout. I have had trouble with the 340 and had sent it back to SW...

    S&W M-500 Who has shot one?

    I have the 8" .500 and handload from 375gr to 500 gr. The great thing about handloading for this cannon is that you can keep the costs down and practice more often. Shooting this monster with full house loads is not for the shooter who can not tolerate pain of recoil. When you hold on tight...

    J frame light primer strikes?

    I've had the same problem as you 461 on a new MP340 and only got the pocket rocket to shoot 30 out of 100 trys. I sent it back to SW and three weeks later just got it back. They replaced the firing pin and repaired the yoke for some reason. Will try it out this week and test the fix. It still...

    MP340 for Personal Protection

    I have been reading a lot about the subject of a j frame in .357 for PP. There are a lot of folks who comment on the brutal recoil of the MP340 with ....357 mags and I agree, but suggest that for personal protection shot placement is most important. Whats wrong with a .38 or +p for the first...

    M&p 340

    My MP340 didn't go Bang!!! I took my brand new MP340 to the range this morning, all excited to see how the .357 would feel after a few 38 Specials and +p were tried first. So I load up the pocket rocket with .38 Specials and pull the trigger, nothing happened, kept pulling the trigger and none...

    M&p 340

    My decision was the same as the one you made, but in addition to the xs sights I felt the finish on the MP340 would be more durable and worth the extra couple hundred vrs the 442. Lots of luck with yours....

    M&p 340

    MP340 Speed Loader I just picked up my MP340 after much back and forth on SW442 or MP340. I will be taking it to the range this weekend to try this pocket rocket out for the first time. I did not get the CT grips yet and want to just become comfortable with it as is. I need some speed loaders...

    SW 642 Finish Peeling

    After reading a lot of forums on both the 642 and 442, the question of the finish peeling off the 642 is of concern to me. Is it that bad or just over reaction of the folks who have the 642 and are using the wrong cleaning solvents. What type of finish problems have been experienced with the...

    Crimson Trace 305 or 405 on SW 642

    OK, after reading many inputs on whether to get a SP101 or SW 642 for CCW with laser grips I have decided to go for the 642. My next problem is that the SW 642 only comes with the CT305 as a package. I have read that the CT405 is better for ccw pocket carry. I can only get the CT642 with...

    442 or 642 ???

    Great response, I currently ccw the xd .45 compact but it is little heavy for summer carry, also own SW .44, SW .500 and am not recoil sensitive but your point about the 642 follow up shot is valid, do you have any thoughts about getting the 642 with ct laser grips? I read that these really...

    442 or 642 ???

    Trying to convince myself into getting a lighter ccw and wonder if there is any difference in wear between the 442 or 642? Several other considerations come to my mind are whether the 38 +p is adequate or should I go for the 640 which is .357 and finally does it pay to go for the Crimson trace...

    Driving to Maine

    I will be driving from NJ to Maine in a few weeks. I have NH, ME CCW and would like to know if CCW in a Maine restaurant serving alcohol is legal. I can not find a specific answer on their web site. If anyone knows of a web site that shows where it is legal in Maine to ccw, I sure would...

    Thanks to all that have shared some input.. It is obvious that I can not purchase a handgun in FL as a non resident and leave it there. No further posts are necessary.

    Florida Non Resident Handgun Purchase

    Wow!! didn't mean to stir things up on this topic, but I was just curious. Obviously, I do not want to do whats not legal, anyway, I will still try to get some additional input from other NJers like myself who fly from Newark to Fla on the topic of air travel with a handgun. I could always...

    Florida Non Resident Handgun Purchase

    Thanks Winchester 73 again. I guess I just have to go the airport route from NJ and hope what I was told by the Port Authority Police in NJ is true and I won't be spending the rest of my retirement in the "klinker"

    Florida Non Resident Handgun Purchase

    I am a NJ resident with a Florida CCW Permit. I was just wondering if it is legal for a Florida non resident having their CCW to purchase a handgun in Florida. Intention is to rather than go through the BS of traveling via air etc. with my own to Florida several times during the year, just to...

    VA to FL CCW in car

    I did some phone calling this morning and visited the NJ State Police. I also called State Police Hdqs firearms in Trenton and all seemed to say, just make sure your handgun in locked in case in trunk etc. and ammo locked in case in trunk and it would not be a problem to travel out of NJ. I...
