M&p 340

After reading this entire thread, I was prepared for the heavy trigger pull, and had ordered snap caps ahead of time. I compared the trigger pull against one of my Charter Arms Bulldogs and found the pull to be almost identical. The Charter was a little more gritty toward the end of the pull, but they both felt pretty close to the same.
And so the next thing I did was to place a target on the door in order to obtain a close distance bore sighting. Now the CT grips are set to 50 feet. Well mine was high from the end of the hall. But I aligned the CT laser with the bore laser on the target at a distance of about ten feet. This is a point blank shooter anyway and ten feet is fine, I feel.
The 1st adjustment brought the lasers almost on top of one another.
And by the 3rd adjustment I had them collimated.
I feel like I saved a lot of ammunition by bore sighting my new 340 M&P in this manner.

130 grain .38 Special Tulammo fmj. Ran a box of 50 through it just now. Distance to target around 15 feet. Firing double action takes a little getting used to. The recoil is brisk and refreshing. Wish I had waited until later in the day so that I could use the laser. But that will come in the next day or two. I think this group will tighten when I get used to the trigger pull - but I am still pleased with it. Even at 15 or so feet the revolver would have been very dangerous.

Color me interested. What case is that? I've got a Taurus total titanium that might fit in there beautifully

I cut the strap off and cut out the guts of the inside so that the 340 would easily extract. All I left on the inside was some webbing to hold two speed loader strips. This doesn't cost anything and it will save the finish on the gun, unlike a retention holster.
The M&P 340 is about the best out of the pocket point and shoot that I have tried so far. From a distance of ten feet I can quickly without bringing it to eye level get all 5 on target without aiming or using two hands. While not stellar accuracy, I still had all 5 (the 5th one almost is cut out of upper left of photo) within thoracic area with an out of the pocket draw, not using the other hand to assist, nor bringing it to eye level. I just pointed it and shot. It is a good pointer.
Edit: I believe I could have achieved this shooting through my jacket pocket.

This was the result of a hasty, pointed, one handed barely above the waist level double action trigger squeeze with the M&P 340 from not more than 10 feet. Pointed, not aimed. Not at eye level.
So let's just look at things here now. What if we did aim it? Same distance, one hand, but brought to eye level and carefully aimed.
