    blues, I'm with you - I've been scraping some $$$ together for an M&P 340 for what seems like forever now. This news ^^^^ ain't exactly good. I keep reading my friend RJ's posts about Rugers and.....

    My new problem child is my first-and probably last-new J. My others have come from here, or guys at work.

    I'm certainly not going to buy another one sight unseen.

    If you have holsters and other j frames already they’re good guns. I don’t think I’d buy one without being able to inspect it unless it was a smoking deal, but smith and wesson is taking care of me.

    Well.... the email response was from a second person who’d been forwarded my email. Simply said they can’t make notes in their system to see what’s been done, but that if I sent a note saying there’s a barrel issue (which I did) then it should have been fixed and test fired at 10 yards....

    So I sent another email explaining that to not be the case, confirmed by my shooting, two armorer’s (and my LT who happened to walk into my office). So. We’ll see. I may petition to re-approve the LCR on a trial basis at this point.

    New RMA/label is getting sent to me, gun will be going back again. We’ll see!

    I know that this is an old post, but if it is a PD version with the Scandium cylinder, that would be a good deal fur sure.

    Well, you may be a man. You may be a leprechaun. Only one thing’s for sure… you’re in the wrong basement.

    I have a 360PD and a 340, and I have shot probably 20-30 total 357 through them. I think the blast is worse than the recoil, and have been meaning to experiment a little with some fast powders in some reloads, just to see what it maybe could be like.
