The really bad news is: in all modern Smiths and most other brands of revolvers, the cylinder rotates counter-clockwise (looking from the back of the gun) and of course the cylinder opens to the left for reloading. Crimp jump usually happens on the last couple of rounds, That's because it takes a few shocks from firing the earlier rounds to drift the bullet forward enough to stick out the front of the cylinder. I got crimp-jump the first time I fired it with Remington Golden Sabers. I have a S&W Model 360 scandium, which is about the same as the M340 except it has an exposed hammer. In my hand, which is on the small-average size. It is expensive, but does not compromise on quality or features. So, if you have been looking for a good everyday carry gun, I highly recommend the S&W M&P 340 CT Centennial. 38 specials would make this a darling at the range. Plus, you always have the option to go with.
CHARTER ARMS UNDERCOVER 38 SPECIAL MODEL 1382 FULL
For full time carry, I am waiting on a few boxes of Remington Golden Sabres, a mid-range magnum, to check out but until then the Speer Gold Dots will do just fine. The grips from Crimson Trace really help tame the bite. You definitely know you are shooting a lightweight gun with serious firepower behind it, but it isn't unmanageable to the point you can't practice with the big boys. Yes, recoil with full house magnums is stout and may be a problem for people who are recoil sensitive. Depending on the stories you read, it sounds like this lithe little revolver is going to buck so hard that you break your wrists and then it will go to your house and kill your dog out of spite. Your experience may be different so remember to check your carry ammo! I have experienced some with the Speer Gold Dots, but not enough to be concerned about carrying it. The first is something you will have to investigate with the ammunition you fire. There are two concerns generally raised over these ultralight revolvers: crimp jump and recoil. With the exception of where it is illegal to carry, such as schools and courthouses around these parts, there is no reason not to have it with you. This is a CCH that can truly go with you everywhere. There is just enough weight to know it is there, but not enough that you would ever want to leave it at home. It conceals amazingly well in a front pocket and weighs in at 17oz loaded with 5 125gr Gold Dot HP 357s and holster. I am interested to see if that lasts or will smooth out with use. It is tactile enough to allow you to stage the trigger on target. Just before the hammer releases, there is a slight change in tension. The DOA trigger is long and heavy but surprisingly smooth. It fits nicely in the hand, points well, and the sighting setup, with the big dot up front and integral U in the back, is natural. My initial impression: this is an amazing revolver. Local prices are running around $1000 and $800 respectively. MSRP is $1232 for the CT version, $948 without. 357 Magnum with an XS 24/7 Tritium front sight, and Crimson Trace Laser Grips. This svelte little revolver, weighing in at 13.5oz with it's Scandium frame and Stainless Steel cylinder, is a Double Action Only 5-shot J-frame Airweight chambered in. 380, this revolver offers you a pocket sized fire breathing dragon, so long as you can afford the price and tame the recoil. Overall: If you have been looking for a small pistol and want something more potent than. I have spent the last few days in the possession of a S&W M&P 340 CT and wanted to file a report with all of you.
