The 340PD leverages a scandium-alloy frame finished in black and a matte light gray titanium-alloy cylinder to achieve an unloaded weight of about 11.4 oz while maintaining .357 Magnum chambering. Overall length is about 6.31 in, and the 1.88 in two-piece barrel uses a steel liner for longevity.
The titanium cylinder features scalloped flutes and holds five rounds. A factory barrel marking advises "NO LESS THAN 120 GR BULLET," a useful reference for ammunition selection with this ultralight platform. Capacity is 5 rounds in .357 Magnum.
Sight regulation is straightforward: a pinned green fiber-optic front pairs with a fixed top-strap rear groove for a bright front aiming reference. The double-action-only mechanism and enclosed hammer promote a snag-free profile, while the internal lock is present with the key port above the cylinder release and L/arrow indicator.
This revolver is part of the AirLite PD series and is marked "Model 340PD" on the yoke cut, with matching serial on the butt. It is made in the USA and identified by S&W mfg part number 163062. Custom gray/black layered composite finger-groove boot grips are installed, complementing the revolver’s ultralight design and offering a firm, compact hold.
