I like my 340 M&P. Considering all the features, it's one helluva J-Frame. Great sights, great finish, light weight and .357 capable. I bought one pretty soon after they hit market a few years ago.

Now the no-lock models are available, which kinda sucks for owners of lock models.

Part of me wants to sell mine and start over with a no-lock. But that would of course be at a cost. I can't sell mine for what I paid ~ and a new one will cost more than what I'd gain from the sale.

I can't say the lock has given me any trouble. I just dislike the appearance and the premise of the lock to begin with.

Should I have a gunsmith disable the lock? Is this easily done? It will still look like a lock gun, but I'd have the peace of mind of no lock on the gun.

Thoughts?
