Saw this on Gunbroker and figured I’d share it here in case anyone was interested. It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen one for sale. S&W did a run of these years ago for LAPD since they don’t authorize the .357. If baby #2 wasn’t making her appearance in a few weeks, I’d buy it myself.

There's a similar offering on the S&W Forum, a 342PD no-lock which is as rare as they come... http://smith-wessonforum.com/guns-sa...s-w-360pd.html
Besides caliber, is there any major difference between the 340 and 342?
M&P 340 is available new without the lock.
The 342PD on the blue forum does not have the blast shield under the top strap.

Not another dime.
Damn, I was about to get a 642, but I may buy that.Originally Posted by Det1397

As far as I know, the caliber is the only difference.
If the 342 was a no-lock gun, I don’t think I could hold back. I’m pretty sure these were made before the no-lock 340 was available (2008 or 2009, maybe?). I remember seeing them in a S&W LE catalog one year.

Also, it is subtle but cool looking, the 342PD has larger scallops in the cylinder! The original 337 PD had them as well.
My old 342Ti and a newer, old, 337PD. The 342Ti is an early production model with the titanium cylinder and standard flutes. The 337PD has the titanium cylinder but with deeper scallops to make the weight even less than the 342..
My 340PD has the magnum titanium cylinder, and IIRC, the 340M&P uses a blued steel cylinder.
Is the top revolver lock free?
Are you referring to the one in the first post? If so, that M&P has the Internal Lock...
