Yeah I was kinda worried about that with the Bantam grip though I like the looks and feel of it it's stickey. JP

I wish uncle mikes still made their boot grip I would have one of those and no delima. lol I think I'm going to go with the VZ grips. They are G10 so will take more abuse and the 340 is a working gun not a show piece. It will spend most of it's existance buried in my pocket or on my hip so no...

I Have a lovely no lock M&P 340 waiting on me at my gun store when I get home on leave in March. I already ordered some stuff for it (Apex J-frame trigger kit, speed loaders, A-Holster pocket holster, Pachmayr SJ-C compac grips). I was looking at some smaller grips for pocket use as I don't...

I like he /\ had no idea that the alloy S&Ws could be refinished. I just e-mailed Robar asking if they could NP3+ my Scandium 340? That would be awesome. Edit: Got a reply from Robar, they can refinish Scandium. It's a $70 charge to strip the current finish. It's $395 for the NP3+ finish! Ouch...

Thanks for the replies very much. I'll address a couple of points. The 442/642: Yes I like them both and had planned on a 442 the price is great but the night sight ICW the nice rounded out trench rear sight is light years better than the 442/642 sight and even though the price is more...

I have an M&P 340 waiting for me when I get back from Afghanistan and this is going to be my Primary carry pistol (Backed up by a Glock 19 and 27) I am debating holster choices. I plan on pocket carry a majority of the time but belt carry when weather and wardrobe permits. I am considering...

642 Silver = 442 Black. Same gun different finish.

No. The govenment does not issue any M&P pistols. Beretta, Sig Sauer, and H&K are the only issued in the Military. Some agencies issue Glocks which find their way to theatre but no M&Ps. I think at one point in time we were issuing S&W Sigmas to the Afghan Police. I'm not sure if they still do...

Which one really, and I mean really calls to you? Me I really don't need a 44 mag I would love one but since I don't hunt it would rarely get used. But if you have had your heart set on a 44 then go for it. With 22 guns in the safe you are obviously not in NEED of a gun either way so go for the...

If weather and clothing options permit I will carry my Glock 19 usually with no extra magazine. If weather and clothing don't permit the Glock 19 then I'll go with a S&W airweight usually no reload, sometimes 1 speed loader or a speed strip. Revolvers and autos both have a lot going for them and...

Well I think beginner or not it depends on the person. My wife for instance cannot consistantly rack the slide on any auto she has tried so we got her a S&W airweight with a crimson trace laser grip. She can load unload and fire the little Smith with no issue. However she is far more accurate...

Well my dealer sent me confirmation that he recieved the 327 and sent me the receipt. I can't pick it up until march so I have plenty of time to pay it off and compile some ammo to shoot, some new grips, and maybe a holster. I'm going to see if I can get my wife shooting this with .38 loads so I...

Thanks guys, I'm thinking of sending it off to superior performance to slick up the DAO trigger even more and bob the hammer so it will be DAO as a defensive revolver I see no reason to shoot it single action. Anyone ever use them for revolver work? JP
