    That version is. They have a newer version of the 105, like these on my 638...





    Current 105s on the 638 on the left, 405s on the 640 on the right...

It is really the state of the art snub in my mind with its sights, materials, construction, etc. Do I like shooting it a lot...no. It is the bottom end of light and I have 640's as trainers if I want to shoot a bunch. I think they are just very "capable" while in the lightest, smallest package I would every use.



    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

    You will be happy and also find it surprisingly "useful".

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

    Me too. Which is why I buy canned air by the case at Sam's, and blow that shit out/away every other day. Gee, it takes at least 30 seconds... how can I stand it???

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

    Forgive him, he's not just his normal curmudgeon, he has an excuse this time. Obviously, they left the "smart ass" lobe of his brain fully intact.

    In the desert, looking for water.
    And here I am thinking that the money this thread might cost me will be for a 640...
