My 342 hangs out in an old sunglasses case, on my belt or nude in my pocket.

My 637 in "Pocket carry mode" This was my dads old holster from the 70's that works well for pocket carry. Below that is the family.

Is that a PCS holster? Here is mine.

How bad do those J-Mags kick with full .357 loads?

Usually just rides in my pocket.

My holster is a Stoner Holster... not terribly expensive, but made very well. Only thing I would change on it, is that in a flat bottom pocket, the gun is canted toward the front just a hair.... I just prefer 0 degree cant in pocket holsters.

Is that the 342 M&P in .38 spl +p?

if it is, I had one with the XS big dot on it, but got rid of it, and have been kicking myself ever since.

In steel j frames, not terrible, in aluminum frames brisk, and in scandium wickedly fun!

If you weren't so far away I'd offer to let you shoot a few full house mags through.

Recoil?

T-Star they can be pretty sporty with the heavier bullets. Mine are loaded with R-P 110 grain Low Flash Fed Spec Magnums.

A former S&W PR man told me that when the first J-frame .357's came out, he tried one. He fired one shot, thought, "That's not as bad as I thought it'd be", but by the time the 5th shot was gone, he thought, "Thank God that's over!"

As for 110 grain loads, can they possibly shoot to the sights? Will they penetrate well on big men or dogs?

That's about right. I carry mine with a +p 38 Special load.

I'm tempted to say that's a Don Hume pocket holster, but I have never seen them offer it in black?

Never mind....I just figured it out, it's a Stoner Holster; either Don Hume makes it for Stoner, or Stoner makes it for Don Hume.

Old picture, but it's a great gun.
Very rarely leaves my side and has some wonderful tritium nightsights that make it my go to home protection gun.

 

[jglsprings]

My EDC for over 6 years?? Wow! Time flies.
