Thread: 340 No Lock

  1. #21
    I just wish Smith would do a 442 .38 with no lock and a tritium front sight, I would be all over it. It would be far more affordable and address an actual need far better than a 13 oz. 357 magnum.

    Essentially, a M&P 442 would have been a better way to go than a M&P 340.
    Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

    That would make the most sense. I would be all over that.

    I get the idea of the pinned front sight, but paying more than double what I paid for my no-lock 442 plus the .357 option that I would never use isn't that appealing to me.

    I really wish S&W would do a run of no lock M&P 342's. Those sold for around $530.

    340 No Lock

    Didn't S&W make some 642's with 2.5 inch barrels and pinned front sights?

    Didn't their powerport guns have replaceable front sights?

    That would be nice.

    Gold bead. Duh. You forgot the best option.

    I didn't even know that was an option.

    You're talking me into a j frame with a pinned front sight...

    I bought my 340 PD no lock about 10 months ago and really like it to carry. Very easy in a pair of slacks, and much lighter than my 642.
    I started with stock grips, put a used (falling apart) set of LG 405s on it, then switched to the LG 105s. I didn't find the LG 105s fit my hand very well (couldn't hit the button), so I got a new set of LG 405s (Brownells--very good company).
    For what it's worth, I think the prices are cheaper now than what I paid last year.
    Here's a thread -which LSP has some good info on removing the lock on a lock version, cleaning, and other good stuff.

    Also the often recommended nylon pocket holsters don't work for me. I've got one of these ordered. Good reviews online. http://shop.aholster.com/
