- Here we take a look at the S&W Heavy Light Weights trio: S&W 340pd/327PC/329pd. These are very powerful lightweight revolvers that are great for carry.
Stay Safe and Check 360 Often!
Seeing the Pug nose again is like seeing an old friend after a few years. Such a great looking gun! A crazy gun, but beautiful. I just love revolvers...
When I carry a revolver at the range, people think they’re awesome. I know a tactical guy, and his first response years ago was “That’s great for contact shots!” 👍💥
Yep I see a lot of tac guys on here still enjoying revolvers.
I carry the M&P340. It's like the 340PD except it has a steel cylinder instead of the titanium cylinder. It also has a different standard front sight (bit dot night sight). It's definitely a go everywhere gun. Well, except where metal detectors are involved.
Great topic. I've always personally thought, a handgun is of no use to me if I can't comfortably conceal & carry it. It's nice to have options that allow both, yet still are potent fight stoppers. 👍👍
Totally agree with you! The wheel gun is hard to beat. Especially in the J frame size. They are extremely comfortable to carry.
I have all 3 of these. They are my most carried revolvers. Like you said the 340pd is just too easy to carry for it to be left behind.
I carry my 637 performance center almost every day in the hot summer months it’s like nothing there but for the rest of year I mostly carry my gp100 7 shot in a Lobo enhanced pancake. It’s heavy but the lobo holster mitigates the weight
Love your EDC choices brother. Old school all the way!
i miss having a j frame. i had a model 60 a while back that shot 38s like a dream. i also had an airweight 38 that i liked a little bit less at the range but it carried SO EASILY.
I’m a 1911 kinda guy, specifically in 10MM & .45 but my constant companion no matter what is my 329PD with VZ smooth sanded smooth grips and soon to have aftermarket sights
My normal EDC is a Glock 33, but I have on occasion carried an LCR. Going from the revolver back to a polymer auto makes you realize just how lightweight the LCR is in comparison to the Glock
i think those are all excellent choices. i have the 327pc and the 329pd. i have the smith and wesson 360pd which is similar to the 340 but it has the exposed hammer. i also use that same crimson trace grip. it takes the recoil rather well.
I just bought a 329pd a couple weeks ago. It's a little brutal but it is so light compared to my Taurus 44 Magnum.
Been carrying a six shot .357 snub nose for the last two years and agree, I never have an excuse as to why I go out and don't have it on me. Very comfortable to carry and never feel like I "need more firepower" . That's just nonsense.
@@ABABABABABABABABABABABABAB Cheapie Rossi 461. Carries nicely and have shot thousands of rounds, .357 and 38+P with no issue. Timing is still perfect. No worries about beating it up either since it was so cheap. It's a tool ! Carry Hornady Critical Defense 110gr FTX 38+p in it.
Got that right. Slip in the pocket, boot, or waist with or without a Mika pocket holster.
They’re all on my shopping list.
I have a 340 M&P 357 mag.
My allways firearm.
140 grain penetrators for hiking, 125,158, for everything else.
Underwood had the 190gr LSWCHP .44 spcl. Excellent load. Probably the best .44 spcl for power. A good night load
The only Glocks I have are the ones in 10mm. Underwood XTP 155gr 10mm loads . And I do own every Glock 10mm flavor they make.
As for revolvers. There are a few advantages.
#1- Perception in court. Like it or not, your enemies serve on juries. To them it's a "cowboy's gun". Use that to your advantage. It's like that with the color pink .It's a man's color,yet most think it's a girl's color. Weaponize that perception to your advantage.
#2-Barrel press into a chest.
#3- Power per shot. ( Choose the 158gr +P LSWCHP .38 spcl)
#4- Gross manual of arms.
#5- Easy to show others how to use. And casings don't get ejected everywhere.
The pug nose is my dream carry....One day...
i watched this video because I saw your older video and wanted long term perspective. i am thinking about buying a firearm primarly for animal defense.
Have you ever had any issues with the S&W internal lock? I'm talking myself into purchasing a 640 but the key lock makes me hesitant.
Me personally no. Never had an issue. I have heard stories from others that claimed they did have issues with lock engaging during recoil. But for me never had an issue.
🔫😀😎
that is not a 340,pd, .... a 340pd has a hammer and the entire gun is silver color.....
I wish the 329 PD had a 3" barrel instead, it wouldn't harm the concealability very much at all.
