I picked up a new no-lock 340 M&P this week. Range report thus far: 100 standard .38; 50 FBI 158 grain +P; and 10 mid power .357 125 grain. It worked flawlessly with everything but I have to admit the mags were a challenge. I keep it loaded w/ four Corbon DPX 110 grain +P and one mid power 125 grain .357 as the last round. The big dot front sight is a great help, especially at my age (mid 60's).

My 442 no-lock is now in a back-up role in the safe. The new 340 is only slightly lighter but I can tell the difference after carrying all day.

Does anyone know if the restriction re: lead ammo applies to the M&P? The 158 grain lead +P FBI load did not jump crimp when I shot them, and the S&W literature that comes w/the gun only mentions the 340PD with respect to bullet configuration and weight.

Thanks,
Old Cop
