The scandium-alloy frame keeps weight to a minimum without sacrificing strength, making the M&P 340 one of the lightest .357 Magnum revolvers available. A stainless-steel, sleeved 1.88 inch barrel and PVD-finished stainless cylinder add corrosion resistance while matching the matte-black finish of the frame.
The internal-hammer, double-action-only design eliminates snag points for a smooth draw from pocket or holster. An internal lock provides an additional layer of security when desired, yet remains unobtrusive during regular operation.
Bright, easy-to-acquire sights set this model apart from traditional fixed-sight snub-noses. The tritium front sight offers a clear aiming point in low light, backed by an integral U-notch rear to speed alignment.
A textured synthetic boot grip maximizes control while maintaining a minimal footprint for concealed carry. With its proven J-Frame lineage and modern materials, the M&P 340 delivers magnum performance in an ultra-portable form.
