M&P 340

[transit]

Alabama sounds like something I should try. No issue with Kydex / Scandium wear? Cheap enough that I should at least put one in the boxo holsters

Hmmm, I haven't had any issue with front sight snag. Mine exits the pocket smooth and slick. There is a small white 02 tag on the back that I assume is the size? I think I paid $12 for it online two years back. My favorite way to carry my favorite gun - nothing at all aggressive is implied when somebody has a hand in the front pocket.

From the DeSantis site:
"Applications: S&W J FRAMES 2"-2 1/4", M&P 340 2" TAURUS 85 2", S&W BODYGUARD 38; KIMBER K6S 2"
SKU: N38BJ02Z0
UPC: 792695236344"

Yup that's the one. Who knows? It may just be me.

I use the Nemesis for the J's with standard sights, so it's no problem.

I like the Alabama stuff. I have them for the J frames, a G43 and a G26.

I haven't noticed anything particular with the kydex. I suppose it may cause more wear than something soft, but these are tools, and I don't worry much about it. If it was really chewing the finish up I'm sure I'd feel differently.

I have been lectured by other members for the way I carry my M&P340. The holsters on the wrong side and the belt is looped the wrong way. But it is comfortable and unobtrusive. It can hide easily under a light shirt or even a slightly loose fitting t shirt. Also, I can drive all day repeatedly getting in and out of the car without ever noticing it. It draws and re-holsters easily without snagging. It does not restrict my movement at all. It may not work for a heavy set guy but it works for me.
