I am interested in a lightweight for the few times a year I can’t carry a mid size auto. I’m only interested in a j frame…. Not a ruger lcr or some other tiny auto.
I have zero desire to shoot 357’s in a j frame (340pd) but the 38 version (342?) doesn’t look like it’s available anymore from S&W.
So considering it will only see 38’s…. Is the weight savings of the 340 worth it over the 642? Too much of a good thing? I don’t expect to shoot it as well as a larger framed gun but I’m guessing the weight of the 340 makes it a little harder to control recoil over the 642….. tough decision, wish I had both to test side by side but it’s unlikely. I had the Taurus 605 years ago but it was a piece of crap, cylinder locked up….had issues with the internal lock….couldnt get rid of it soon enough after Taurus claimed they fixed it. Thx.
