That is the third thing about it, one of the only guns in history made worse and uglier than a Hi point.

Hardcase, On the 340PD, I had one of those, and it prompted me to coin the phrase, "Kicks Like a Mule on Crack" when shooting .357mag out of it. Interestingly, I could shoot mine real well. I did sell ti though.

When I first got the PD I compared the recoil to "shaking hands with the Devil." One of my friends who fired just one round before handing the gun back to me commented that it felt like a cherry-bomb went off in his hand. I have an early 90s 640-1, one of the original J-frames made in 357. It is an all steel gun and weighs more than double what the PD does, but is otherwise very similar. It has slightly smaller harder grips (not that grips aren't easy to replace.....but I haven't) than the PD, so maybe that's part of it, but I honestly don't detect a huge difference in the recoil of the two, both are nasty even though the mass of the 640 is much greater. The 640 is just too much of a pantload for pocket carry IMHO due to the weight, whereas the 340 is a very comfortable gun to carry.

That thing looks like it wouldn't even make a good club.

It looks like a pellet gun to me.

I had an old SIA .38spl, and even with .38+P+ it was no where NEAR as bad as the 340PD with low power 158gr SWC .38s in it. That thing was just way too slappy.

There's an old guy over on the S&W forum who is pretty well respected and thought-of. He claims to have shot a 340PD around 20,000 times with 357s, full loads, not reduced or "light" ones. He was trying to wear it out, but says it's still going strong. Hard to believe. It might not wear out the gun (although I would think so, the thing doesn't seem as rugged as a steel gun), but it would sure as hell wear out the shooter!!!

and for my latest activity:

There is a "tactical 22" match every month not too far from me.

What do you do for a shotgun in a tactical 22 three gun match??? 20g?

I suppose that you are referring to it's being a long recoil operated pistol, right?

That's a Frommerstop. The interesting and odd thing about it is that you use each removed part as the tool to remove the next part.

The Nambu was SUCH a reliable pistol, just TRY to keep it from going off
