What is the opinion of the 342Ti? Local gun shop has one for sale.

much sought after and highly coveted. pre-lock? condition? $450 and up is what they go for. hth

They are very nice.
I have 2.
10 oz. unloaded with the houge bantem grips, which make it the lightest 38 spl./+P revolver ever(i think).
no longer made, so get it now.

IIRC the price was $650 with a padded case. Pre-lock, I am pretty sure.

The AirLite 342Ti is one of the lightest Revolvers ever made by S&W, The 317 is the lightest in 22lr with an aluminum cylinder, & carries better than anything I've ever had, It's the go with me everywere Revolver..
I picked mine up 3-4 weeks ago New In Box for $550, Mine is an early 1999 model & came with Dymondwood grips factory, See Pic of the 342Ti in the middle surrounded by My 940 & 642 Airweight..
I would think that $650 would be a Decent price, Have a Look in your area for a new 340 or 360 & compair those prices..
BTW all Airlite 342Ti Are Pre-Lock
Good Luck!!

I just noticed this post after I posted a question on the value of a 342.
After looking at this post, I have to ask , what is a 342ti as compared to a regular 342?

HeadKnocker - Nice revolvers there. I really like the grips.

The 342 is a Titainium Cylinder & that S&W Called it, AirLite Ti stamped on the tight side of the revolver..
The Early 1999 342s came factory with the Dymondwood Grips, I have an extra set that DC7 Hooked me up with, Seen in the background of this pic..
These are very Hard To Find..
You should see if you can aquire the one your looking at..
Good Luck Cobra44

Thanks Gary for the information.
I am going to try really hard to purchase it.

Here's What I saw when I happened apon my 342
It was just sitting there begging me to take it home.. Bye The Way this does have a lock, It comes in the case the way they all should have.

That's a decent price for a pre-lock 342 in new or like-new condition. One went up for sale on the forum Classifieds yesterday for $615, and it sold in THREE MINUTES.

Nothing beats a 342 for pocket carry. It's so light you barely even notice that it's there.

Hi fellow members, I have a 342 and is marked 342PD it is black with the titanium cylnder it came in a padded box that was marked Airlite Ti on the outside of the box. It does not have the lock on the gun, what is the difference between the PD and the Ti?? Thanks for any info.

Here’s the Ti:


PD:


The black finish is more durable. The PD came with a red ramp front and Hogue grips and is a little lighter. The Ti came with Uncle Mike’s. The cylinder flutes are deeper on the PD too.

Great pocket guns.

Really???? Then I must have sold off a VERY rare 342Ti last year that had the IL.

Thanks for the info S&Wchad, it was a great help.

I don't have my S&W catalog with me now, but I'm pretty sure that S&W did make the 342's both without AND with the lock.
