Anyone own a S&W M&P 340?

My new obsession...
Sweet looking packer. Just over 13 oz's empty. Anyone own or shoot one? I'm curious how accurate they are. Good chunk of change for one.

I have one, not the crimson model shown. I'll tell you right now, I'm a big boy and that SOB rips my freaken hand off with full power 357 loads!

gun blast review of the 340
Wow another nice hand gun brought up tonight. This has got to stop I have no money or a job to buy
I really liked this review. Seems like a good personal protection gun for around town.

My cousin and I were talking tonight how one would kick!
I like the size and weight. I'd want one strictly for concealed carry. I love carrying and that just seems like the perfect gun for conceal to me. They have one down at Sportco with the crimson grip. I was all giddy about the airlite with the 1 5/8" barrel, but this one really has my attention in the black with the crimson grip

I carry mine in my front pocket, sometimes my back pocket depending what jeans I'm wearing. I don't even have a holster for it. If you want to pay a lot less, look at the Smith 442, same gun just not scandium and its .38+P instead of .357.
MUCH more shooter friendly

Cmon, that's like buying a truck with a four cylinder!!
It does seem like a lot of cash for a .357, but its one I'd most likely never sell. I like the idea of lightweight. Is yours very accurate? I know its a small framed gun, so obviously not looking for clover leafs.

most violent handgun I've ever shot.
You will give up on 357 magnumb loads real quickly, thus the 442/642.
I've shot SW 500 and 460....not even close to the blast and recoil.
