Gosh, I just love it when relatives come over. Nice pair!

One for each hand!

p.s. How do you like that LG-105 laser grip?

Leadchop54 · #4 02-09-2012, 08:28 AM

I really don't like the lg 105's, at least for this gun! I bought the 340 used and they were on it already. I'd go with the 405 vs the 105. The 105 is really cheaply made, just plastic with no kind of shock absorbing material!

I feel your pain. Have the M&P 340 and it's the most expensive handgun I own. Gotta love it though!

Thanks for the info. I prefer magnas on my Airweights and I've considered buying the 105's because of the size. I guess with light ammo and a bit heavier gun, they might be a good option.

I once had a thing for expensive and painful things, but she finally left town. Nice set you got there.

Very Good Oldbear, Although this hobby has turned out to
be more expensive that any woman i've ever associated
with. Maybe i just like cheap women....haha
Nice pair of weapons, thanks for the pictures...

Sorry, but not worth the trade off to me.

Those are not Airweights but I understand what you're saying. All I own are Airweights as I'm to cheap to buy the fancy ones.

Haha, I'm Usually too cheap for the fancy ones myself! I just lucked out! I got the 340pd for an absolute steal from a buddy for $500!,then two days later I got offered the 360pd as a trade for a bottom feeder that I never shot! So obviously I had to take it because the 340 was lonely!...

I also got the love for expensive painful things. Bought an M&P 340. First time at the range I put 50 rounds of factory 357 goodness through her and about 200 rounds of 39 spl. Didn't notice how bad my hand was bleeding until I got in my car. Backstrap just cut into the web between my thumb and pointing finger. What a great gun!

Nice, very nice pair.

Ralph G. Briscoe · #13 02-13-2012, 10:04 PM

You're a better man than I. Had a 340pd for 5 minutes. I make my living with my hands and was worried about nerve damage. The lightest .357 I can handle is my 327 pc snubby....8 rounds of .357 in a concealable 21 oz package...very happy with it, and my 642, for CC.

mbliss57 · #14 02-13-2012, 11:45 PM

Those are some pretty intimidating guns! Congrats

Well I can tell you it wasn't the .357 magnums. It was those damn .39 specials, they're brutal!!!

Sorry, just couldn't help myself!

I had one of the 340PD's once, nice gun, especially for pocket carry, but hurt even with .38 specials just practicing. Moved on to something else. Good for you though, if you like it.

I also like the pain. Hopefully I can get my wife fully trained to enjoy the much milder 642.

Shot 50 rounds Remington Golden Saber 38+P using my favorite new carry 360pd. First 25-30 no problem, then anticipation of recoil pain making the actual shot no longer a surprise causing high placements. Have 22 Mag. Bodyguard, Micro9 and Colt45. Have not tried Magnum yet, any suggestions as to the lowest recoil pain. Anyway its for personal protection don't anticipate needing more than pre pain rounds. USMC, IDF
