Good Points:
It has a XS 24/7 Tritium front sight.
Looks to me like the rear sight trough is enlarged a little to match the front XS sight. Not 100% sure, but looked that way to me.
It will shoot 135 Gold Dot Short Barrel 357 magnum ammo.
It's a light weight full power concealed carry gun.

In my opinion this is the best Smith & Wesson J Frame Concelaed Carry handgun offered to date.

Could be Improved Points:
It is about $200 to expensive for what it is in my humble opinion.

Note: you should be able to find one for $750 or a little less, if you look some, and do not live in a Communist controled state.

I was looking at a 340 M&P with a Lock pretty hard, and ended up with an LCR 357, and added the XS 24/7 sight to it. I ended up spending $510 on the LCR 357 equipped the same as the 340 M&P. I liked the 340 M&P better from a purely looks stand point. Functionally you will have to put some Apex parts in the 340 M&P to match the LCR 357's factory trigger. For a using carry gun, they both get the same job done equally well. The 340 M&P looks better, the LCR equipped the same is about $240 cheaper. I put that $240 difference towards an LCR 22 to go along with it. I like it very well also.

Just my 2 cents
