I'm considering purchasing a S&W 340PD. I was hoping that someone had an opinion on this particular gun. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this gun, here's a link - http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=14765&langId=-1&isFirearm=Y. Basically, it's a J framed, 5 round .357 magnum weighing in at an unbelievably light 12 oz's!!! Now I've looked around and can't find anything in .40 caliber or above that weighs anywhere near that little! The closest that I can find is a GLOCK weighing in at around 19-20 oz's. Now I've shot this little bastard and it straight up hurts to shoot. However, I'm looking for a deep CC piece and I'm just wondering what y'alls opinion is of this. The chances that I'll ever need it are slim to none but if I do ever need it, I don't want to be missing the target 4 out of 5 times from flinching. However, on the other hand, you can't beat 357 power in a package that's light enough to forget that it's even there.
The pros of this gun is that it's a very light 357. The cons are that it's a very light 357.
So what's your opinion?
