After a long wait....my new snubbie w/pics

After too long a wait, my M&P 340CT .357/.38spl snubbie. Just picked it up today. Out the door for $900.00 Full Range report to follow in a few days. After a little practice with speedloaders/speed strips, it will be another carry option along with my G-27.

Nice revolver, don't know if it's $900 dollars nice but it is nice though. To put it another way, if I spent $900 on a revolver my wife would divorce me. See, she has me trained pretty well, doesn't she.

YOU DOG!

YOU BOUGHT MY REVOLVER!

That thing weighs like NOTHING!

Trigger action on the one I dry fired was so sweet too.

Guy behind the counter said"You don't want to fire alot of magnum rounds through that gun.It's got a kick like a mule!"

LOL.

Wonder if Smith offers porting for that pistol or if it would help with the recoil.

WOW.

You just bought the Ferrari of snubs there in .357.

Can't wait to read your shooting experiences.

You might want to wear a shooting glove with that thing. I hear they like to eat trigger fingers and webbing.

Won't need gloves

He won't need shooting gloves. He has that fine knife to cut away the skin after the first few shots from the blisters and rips as that lightweight recoils to the moon.

The Doc is out now.

Good choice! I have the 340 and 360 M&Ps and my brother-in-law just bought a 340CT. He loads the first two charge holes with snakeshot as he works heavy equipment in remote areas and often sees more snakes than people.

I've got a S&W Airweight 38spcl and it's freakin' heavy compared to those scandium frame deals.

Let us know how handles after sending some .357 downrange.
