Factory markings include "SMITH & WESSON" on the left side of the barrel, ".357 S&W MAG" on the right, "MP 340" on the yoke cut, and "SPFLD, MA S&W U.S.A." on the right side of the frame.
Sight configuration consists of a pinned tritium front blade (Trijicon H3 05) paired with an integral rear groove. This setup provides a bright front reference with a low-profile rear channel.
