Smith & Wesson

Since its inception in 1950, Smith & Wesson's J-Frame revolvers have been a trusted companion for those seeking reliable and easy-to-use firearms for personal defense. These compact handguns are renowned for their ability to handle full-power rounds while maintaining simplicity and reliability. With various calibers and hammer designs available, the J-Frame has earned its place as the go-to choice for concealed carry.

Among the lineup of J-Frame revolvers is the Model 340 PD, a modern iteration of the classic Model 40 Centennial AirLite®. This revolver combines the time-tested features of its predecessor with contemporary advancements to offer shooters a lightweight, dependable, and discreet option for backup and concealed carry.

The Model 340 PD features a lightweight scandium alloy frame, making it exceptionally easy to carry for extended periods without causing fatigue. Its titanium alloy cylinder further contributes to its lightweight profile while maintaining durability and strength. The stainless steel barrel ensures reliable performance and accuracy shot after shot.

Designed for discreet carry, the Model 340 PD boasts a snag-free enclosed hammer, allowing for smooth and quick draws from concealment without the risk of snagging on clothing or other objects. Additionally, this revolver is rated for continuous use of high-pressure +P ammunition, ensuring reliable performance when it matters most.

Notably, the Model 340 PD does not feature an internal lock, enhancing its simplicity and reliability. This omission reflects Smith & Wesson's commitment to providing firearms that prioritize function and performance without unnecessary complexities.

Overall, the Smith & Wesson Model 340 PD embodies the essence of the J-Frame revolver lineage, offering shooters a lightweight, reliable, and easy-to-use option for personal defense and concealed carry.
