Reloading for the S&W 340PD?

[Ron3]

I've owned one since around 2019.

I don't reload for it, but I will say that I have had cheap 158gr ball ammo jump crimp and lock up the gun. Both rounds lacked a noticeable crimp. If you reload I recommend a good roll crimp as mentioned above.

On the shooting, grip and grips matter. I have a pair of large laser grips on mine, and it's a significant improvement on control and reduces recoil. Hogue and Pachmyer also make good grips for the pistol.

Thanks. I decided if I get one I'll get another Ruger LCR but in .38.

My other ones have been good and I think they are a better design and / or higher quality than the current S&W.
