This will teach me to turn off my laptop and watch tv! Thanks for the very quick response. I don't now why I decided to doubt my LEO buddy on this one as he has been absolutely perfect in everything he has suggested for me. Doesn't matter if it was a flashlight, knife, or firearms, he has nailed it. I had a gut feeling about this one and will now seek to scrounge up the extra $$$ to make it happen - hopefully sooner rather than later. VERY much appreciated.

Yes. IME that isn't so.
I have multiple J frames in .38 Special and .357 Magnum, mostly with 1 7/8" barrels, from the scandium alloy lightest weight models to solid steel models.
The steel 1 7/8" barreled guns all seem to be regulated such that POI corresponds to POA for 158gr+P loads, best exemplified with Remington's premium LSWCHP.
NONE of those guns hit to POI with lighter weight rounds, with Gold Dot .38 Special+P 135gr JHP having been tested most consistently among all of them. The lighter Speer rounds consistently hit low.
The scandium alloy guns (340PDs, ostensibly in .357 Magnum) OTOH are very close to having POI = POI with said Gold Dot+P 135gr JHP load, but hit high with 158gr Winchester, Remington and Buffalo Bore +P LSWCHP loads.
[QUOTE=UNK;495335]Can someone clarify something for me. Are the 158 grain hitting aprox same POI/POA as the 130

I'll wager you a PF dollar™ 😎

Yet another PF thread has cost me money.
Ordered a no-lock 340 with Express sights today.

I have a Sc/Ti 360, but hate the dust bunnies that pack in around the hammer.

Don't you screw up my excuse for buying the 340.

And here I am thinking that the money this thread might cost me will be for a 640...
