thanks again for all the info. got to play with a couple that confirmed a lot of what was said. no hiccups or problems from either. being more familiar with bolt and lever action rifles and pump shotguns the more traditional stock if the mini actually pointed and balanced like an old friend...

sounding like for my needs the mini may be better. looking for equivalence of revolver and 870 between these two. love my 1911s and my browning semis but for down and dirty bang each time i'm more comfortable with the slow and sure. gotta say had even been intrigued by remingtons 7615 or...

thanks again for the info. really helpful. looks like in the end would probably get both platforms. but a bit more info..im def high drag low speed guy now. swapped over all revolvers (previously owned only semis) due to not practicing as often and putting my balance more towards 5-7 "for...

thanks for the info! after looking around some seems that if an ar is a quality build (ratger production line or owner built) it is reliable and a lot of the "troubles" are either junk ammo or poor build...not the design. and sounds like the S&W build quality is similar level as mini so...

hello, i'm looking for a new carbine primarily for home defense and occasional plinking/fun. it will be taken care of/not neglected but i dont wanna fuss over it or have to deal withfinicky parts, feeding or extracting. it'll spend 95% of it's time in the safe and 5% at the range (hopefully no...

i was just thinking about this yesterday as it looks like everyone is "printing" with these huge cell phones...so now not quite so worried about the occasional print since probably assumed it's a smartphone! strong side IWB a jframe 60 weakside a DroidX with a Bianchi strip pouch next to it...

edc an energizer LED that uses 1 AA btty w/ about 65 lumens. picked up on sale for around $14 and rides next to my billfold in a back pocket. have been in a building when power went out, frequently going in/out of parking lots at night and just handy to have on me just in case since it slides...

edited after re-reading your original post and realized you didn't list a jframe as an option but someone recomended it. so i'll second that recomendation. from those listed I'd opt for the MP in 9mm (though not big on the thumb safety, i can appreciate why you'd choose to have it). I had one...

looking for a 3" 360 myself now. carry a MP340 24/7 and often either a 2" Jframe or 4"Lframe on the belt. had considered the 1 7/8" 360 as a trail gun since light but still could do single action. saw the 3" and seems like an ideal backpacking piece. plus for ccw similar weight to my 340...

my 340MP has been constant carry either as backup to 686 or 60 (reason i went with the MP over 642 so the strips I carry for the 686/60 w/ mags could be used in the backup if needed even though I carry +P in the MP) or as my primary with a naa .22mag as a backup. have gotten spoiled with that...

Just looked at the special order book couple days ago for a marlin 1894 in 357. asked the clerk at the counter, he opened a file cabinent got it and handed to me. told me half deposit up front remainder when came in usually within 6-10 days if they are in stock. took less then 5 minutes for...

finally got some shooting time with my 340M&P. took my 629,686,60 and 340 along with some long guns. 686/60 no surprises, 686 ate it all and recoil was never a problem. 60 was "fun" with 158g .357s though still controallable and able to hit fairly well. Midpower magnums and below the recoil...

i too have always preferred a local shop but now with a family and busy schedule finding the time to get to a range let alone browse the case are hard to come by. But with the chan stores either being near other shopping areas for the rest of my family and/or also carrying other products they...

do any of you have experience with the XS dot that goes over the existing bead with epoxy? love the XS on my M&P340 and would like to add something to my 18" 870 as well without having to do (or pay) a lot of gunsmithing.

Tifosi, noticeable weight difference with SS cylinder? Hey Tifosi, scanned back through this post and didn't see anything towards this. Since you've had both the titanium and SS cylinder have you noticed a big difference in weight for pocket carry and for shooting? Thanks

youre right that ill soon forget about having to have it refinished, and am glad the service is still as i experienced before. was thinking more of have this chance again to swap out the M&P for the PD for same price so the PD would be a better "deal". but if at the counter I had no idea what...

once again smith & wesson came through with great service. will pay shipping both ways to refinish 340MP. so now to decide to keep the MP and have refinished or just swap for new 340PD. have had great service from S&W for my 60, 686, 629 and 625 so glad to hear it's still the same

ended up grabbing the 340MP over the PD and after getting home discovered the area around the pin for the front sight has a couple small pieces of the black finish chipped off. contacted s&w and theyve recomended sending it back to them for repair (hopefully they'll pick up the shipping tab...

am pretty certain ill opt for the M&P after reading all I have. my reasons are: -have carried a 442 several hours at a time before on an ankle/pocket without any discomfort. have also carried a 60 on ankle/pocket and while maybe not comfortable it was comforting. so the 13.3 ounce M&P should...

Is there a similar discussion/thread that deals with the 340PD or non M&P version? This one has provided a lot of information relating towards the MP but would like to find info on the PD as well since they are both in the running for me. Did a search but found nothing like the 340MP club or...
