Asked the dealer to get me an M&P340 today. They said it was on S&W's 'discontinued list', and they didn't have one in the wearhouse nor was it available from their distributors. So....I took the one from the display case, and got a pretty fair discount.

So what to assume? One would imagine it is a pretty good seller. True, it's twice the price of a 442/642, but they are .38 only. Less money than a 340PD, and a stainless cylinder, so you don't have to worry about any cylinder etching from light bullets/hot loads possible with titanium. A bit heavier than the 340PD, but I can live with that couple extra oz when firing .357's. Night sights, which none of the others have, was a huge + for me!

It is a 'no dash', so can we assume there will be a -1, or that it is being eliminated from the lineup?
