Have you shot it yet?

I have the 340 which is the DAO version, got the same CTC grips too. Nobody has ever asked me to shoot it more than once.

I shot it more than once :neener: Those little things are a beast with .357's, .38special isn't too bad though
 
got to shoot her today(WOW)!

this .357Mag is going to be seeing a lot of .38 spl+P while i own it.

:eek:
Very Feisty indeed!

now it needs some spit n polish!
 
Well...

Hardly anybody actually fires .357's out of those, the recoil is just too punishing. Seems like you could have just gotten a .38 in a similar weight for less money, and avoided the hard-to-clean buildup in the cylinder you'll get from shooting .38's in a .357. :uhoh:
 
God bless you man! I have a 342 .38 and with +P's it is a handful. I shoot a 649 Bodyguard in .357, with full combat grips it is comfortable, but with boot grips it is tough. I cannot imagine shooting .357's out of such a light gun on a regular basis. I guess in a life or death situation it would not matter, but practicing is a bitch! The proverbial tiger by the tail!!
 
I shot my 340PD with ALL the available premium .357 Magnum 125gr+P JHP loads when I first bought it, and it twarn't fun.

Fortunately, it was actually more accurate with certain .38 Special loads (Federal Nyclad 158gr+P and Gold Dot 135gr+P JHP), so that's what I now carry in it.
 
S&W 360, Noisy Cricket, same thing. ;)

The all steel j-frames aren't a problem to shoot with .357 loads. Even while recovering I don't find it uncomfortable at all.

The airweight models, however, are a whole other ballgame.
