I love my no lock 340 M&P.

Yes, it is expensive...
but for me, the front sight and durable DLC finish, combined with the light weight and ability to fire .357 magnum...all make it worth it!

Some people say that .357 mag is wasted out of a short barrel..but no matter how you look at it...it still beats .38 special!

It is not for extended range visits...but .357 mag is definitely controllable...with some practice and the right loads.

I paid about $730 for mine, including shipping and FFL fees.
For me, it is worth it.
