I've been drooling over this thing for a few weeks now. Currently, my main CCW guns are a S&W M&P9c and a Keltec P-3AT. I love the 9c, but my attire doesn't always allow me the opportunity to carry IWB, so that's when I carry the Keltec in a pocket holster. Problem is, I have a hard time trusting the Keltec. Every time I pull the trigger, it feels like this thing is gonna break. So now I'm putting serious consideration into upgrading my pocket gun to a 340. I rented one a couple weeks ago and all I have to say is that this thing is IMPRESSIVE! Shooting .38 +p's through it isn't too bad. .357 is a totally different story. So my plan is to load it up with 3 .38 +p's at the front, and 2 .357's at the back. Anyone out there own one of these?

Major General,
A Detective friend carries the S&W-M&P340 as a back-up to his service pistol. He wanted something reliable and accurate. It is also fitted with laser grips. I have witnessed him produce very impressive groups at 35 ft. with 38 spl. loads. Great choice. Also, your comment about 'trusting the Keltec', in my humble opinion, you must have COMPLETE confidence in your sidearm. I won't carry anything, I'm not 100% sure it's going to go bang when I need it the most. Good luck.
