Okay, the S&W web site says 23 ounces- which is a few ounces more than my M-640. That's good... But does it work okay WITHOUT those communist moon clips?
I despise The Lock, of course, but I know how to get rid of that POS; and the revolver will be only be used for real deal stuff during dark days. Guess I'll go look at the Pro 640 thread and make up my mind.

Is this an everyday price? As in do you know where a second one is at this price?Originally Posted by 11B10

The 640 Pro does not have the lock. The extra weight is very helpful in reducing recoil. It works fine without the moon clips. The standard tritium sights are very nice in dark conditions.

Thank you, sir. I believe I'm going to score one when I get home.

I'm really close to picking up a 340 with no lock. My only question, is it really $200 better than a Ruger LCR? For another $60 I can put a big dot front on the LCR, and unless I'm missing something I'm $140 ahead with the Ruger?
That's the S&W LE price. That's the same price my local cop shop sells them for.
Well, don't take this personally... But if you are worried about the S&W being $200 more than the Ruger... buy a Ruger.
It has been covered here many times before; the J frame is smaller, handier, IOW easier to conceal, than any LCR. You can also double-clutch the LCR trigger a lot easier than you can the S&W action; IOW, short-stroke the trigger which makes you miss that round, period. Some people don't believe that; okay, fine with me.
The LCR is a good piece; lots of folks here like it. But lots of us also think that the S&W J frame is a better choice for concealed-carry piece... And who gives a damn what the price difference is?

If you do want to buy an LCR with a big dot all ready on it and great holsters.....let me know.

I decided to try another 340M&P (thanks pf) now that I'm a much better j frame shooter than I was the first time around 8yrs ago. Had to go back for a canted front sight, grouped 7" left @25yds. Hopefully they can straighten the shroud. Next time I'm taking a magnifying glass to the gunshow.
Otherwise, yeah that front sight is much easier for my eyes to see than the post/notch on my 642 particularly without my glasses. It also helped me to really appreciate the PC action job that came standard on my 642 Talo!

Bump for consideration of 340 vs 340PD purchase.
Just how delicate is the Ti cylinder? This thread isnt the first I've read about it needing a lot of care. The finish just comes off? With certain solvents or is it from scrubbing?
And while I have your attention, 148 vs 158 WC have the same recoil, the difference is that the 158 is too slow? Is my understanding correct?
Thanks!
