    My first back up gun, a 640, used to shoot POA/POI with 158 grain loads and Low with 110 grain +P+.
    Now that is normal behavior for that breed

    Yes.

    Mid-bore Smythes are regulated for std. vel. 158gr projectiles. Anything that exits the muzzle faster will hit lower.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    The 340 M&P came back from S&W two days ago. Got in a quick trip to the indoor range today - 30 rounds of 135gr +P GDHP at 7, 15, and 25 yards.

    There is noticeable improvement but it is still hitting to the right . POI is about half as far to the right as before this trip to S&W.

    Call me picky but this is not acceptable for a gun that costs nearly $800.

    The scandium that gets sprinkled in the aluminum alloy for the frames to keep the .357s from stretching them like taffy is like a squillion dollars an ounce; combine that with factory nights and the CTC grips and you've run up the options list on your basic ~$400 Model 442 pretty quickly, all for the pleasure of getting stress fractures in your metacarpals from firing magnum loads...

    For those of you who don't know what a "squillion" is, let me help you. For instance, if you took one squillion dollars, spent it all on 442's and then laid them end to end, they would reach Proxima Centauri and back. Or to put it in slightly more concrete terms, it's the number of hits you'd get if you would Google "what gun should I get for my wife?"

    Now, I always thought "squillion" was the amount of money that would cause you to squeal when you got the bill.
