So I think I done good (impulse buy)

[Zundfolge]

Picked up a Smith & Wesson M&P 340 (http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_765779_-1_757772_757767_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y) this afternoon ... like new in box for $500 cash.

(not mine, but it looks just like this ... yes it has the infernal lock)

Haven't seen one of these with an asking price under $700 in quite a while so I think I did well.

I can't get over how tiny it is (this is my first J frame ... my other snubbie is a Dan Wesson 14-2 so its more K/L frame size ... that and my other S&W is an N frame and the only Colt I've got is an Army Special).

I don't think I'm brave enough to actually shoot .357mag out of it though (I like my wrist just the way it is thankyouverymuch). Thankfully it came with a baggy of 25 or so rounds of random .38 Spec.


Now I need to decide if I wanna keep it or flip it (leanin' toward keepin'). :D

Nice... I wish I'd have went with one of these instead of the Ruger SP-101 (http://www.ruger.com/products/sp101/models.html)model KSP-321XL. I think they look better and have a better trigger...
What are your thoughts on the trigger?

[Zundfolge]

Haven't shot it yet but dry firing it, the trigger is better than I expected it to be and reminds me of one of the several Kahr Elites I've had over the years.

I suspect your SP101 will feel better when shooting full power .357mag that this will ... seriously I expect it to hurt worse than my .44mag.

Im not a big pocket revolver fan but thats a smokin deal for a great lookin pistol!!!

That's awesome man! I've always liked those light little revolvers...figure I'll try to pick one up when it's time to go concealed.

Heh ... the more I fiddle with it the more I'm likely to keep it.

It really is a nifty little machine, and I keep telling myself I need to have a good "deep cover" piece for times when I have to dress in such a way that IWB carry doesn't work well ... but I want something more powerful than my wife's KelTec P3AT.

However, if my wife sees these I may be in trouble:

She's already asked me if the S&W is "better" than her KelTec (I dodged the question and kept talking about the uncomfortable recoil ... however since she has a P3AT she's used to uncomfortable recoil).
