OK, after pondering over the posters question and realizing that I too went through this a month or so back, the below pic is what I came up with and have been carrying it EVERDAY off duty ever since. I pondered over spending almost 900 bucks on a J frame revolver that only saves me 3 ounces compared to the 442/642 guns that I already have. I am a jogger and wanted something that was as light as possible and fit in my extremely small fanny pack for this application and after some long long nights of thinking if it was worth it, I caved and bought a 340PD. I have had it a month and have shot only 45 rounds out of it so far in 1 range session. I am VERY pleased with my decision now that I have it and am happy that it fits my application for everything I wanted it for. I carry appendix off duty and in the fanny pack when I run so this J frame fits for me (holster in pic is a pocket holster). I also have added the black triangle midnight creeper as a "get off me tool" to round out the equipment I carry and believe me it is the lightest you will find period unless you just carries nothing. I know that this gun will work when and IF I ever need it!.
