    you can do a single action exemption if it's not on the roster. Will check back after I look at the roster. c good

    Need the SKU to know for sure. There are a few 340 PD's on the list but need more info.

      340 PD is on the roster so you're good to go. The extra SKU-s are special runs. As a side issue, you *cannot* do single action exemption on any short J frame as they fail the barrel length and overall length requirement.

      I have a 360 PD which is also scandium frame and titanium cylinder, just has an exposed hammer. They are *very* light and small, so you have to make sure that you hold them properly (fingers away from the gap) and that you don't limp wrist. If you do it right, they are very shootable. If you don't, you'll be hurting.

        You should be able to order it.

        However, consider the regular m&p340. It weighs about two ounces more because it doesn't have the titanium cylinder. However, you're not restricted from using <120 grain .357 loads. I also like the night sight on the regular 340 than the fiber optic sight found on the PD.

        MidwayUSA sells the titanium cylinder if you want to swap cylinders later.

        Both should be on the roster and will have the crappy internal lock.

          I have the 340 M&P for a carry option. Be aware that you are getting yourself into a hard kicking gun. Very shootable with .38 and .38+p but put some .357's un there and hold on! Kicks harder than my .44 mag.

                  As someone that carries a 642 Jframe what is gained on the 340PD?
                  slightly lighter,sight, etc

                    The recoil on the 360PD hurts my hand from shooting .357 magnums,
                    .38+P are fine.

                      There are 2-3 for sale in the marketplace on here that I've seen.
