What exactly does the "M&P" designation do for S&W revolvers? In other words, what is the difference between 340 and 360 revolvers and the M&P340 and M&P360? Added features, better materials? Fancy logo?
Thanks!

"Military and Police".
For older S&Ws, it refers to the revolver that eventually became the Model 10. It was introduced in 1899 as the "Military and Police Hand Ejector" model. Right now, it seems to be a tag for products that are presumably aimed at the same. The M&P340 and 360 are different from the regular models.

I figured "M&P" probably stood for Military and Police based on some other revolver names.
It appears to me that the only real difference in the two specifications is the front sight. Maybe the material and grips are different. Am I seeing this right?
