Today my new M360 arrived. It has a nice orange case with a first aid kit, emergency blanket, trench tool, para cord, and several other goodies.

I mainly wanted the gun. It’s a scandium 357 magnum with an orange ramp site. I like that site. It has orange grips which look nice, but I will replace with magna style panels. This gun will only see 38 spl., but I like the added strength of 357 magnum capability.

Fit and finish look good. Very smooth trigger on this one. I like the unfluted stainless cylinder, which adds a tiny bit of weight over the titanium ones.

This will be my ‘always there’ pistol carried in my front pocket. It will back up my main full size, usually a big revolver, 1911, or full size HK or Beretta.

I will always check the frame under the forcing cone for the dreaded crack that occurs (sometime just from time). I think this one will hold up fine with just 38 specials.

Dang that's cool.
I've been wanting a lightweight J frame, Magnum is even better.
Not sure about the "kit" though.
Definitely change out those grips before someone starts making Home Depot jokes.
 
I remember when they came out back in the day. It always amazes me what Company's think of to sell product.
 
The kit came out just after I bought my 360 FDE, i would've bought the kit just to have it otherwise. They are great guns, I'm sure it will serve you well. Only bad thing is you had to pay a pandemic premium for it.
 
I have a 360j which is same gun but only .38 special. It carries beautiful due to scandium frame. I couldn't believe it was sitting next to 642\637 and it was $30 less expensive than aluminum j frames. Some one priced that wrong.
 
I always wish the red or orange ramped front site was a standard feature on all J frames or at least pin all front J frame sites so they could be replaced.
