Hey guys,
So I'm really stuck between buying a 640 Pro Series or a M&P 340 (w/o lock), and need some help deciding!
There's a lot of similarities between the two, but both of them have some distinct differences. Both have the internal hammer, no internal lock option, .357 mag, j frames, similar in price, and are both awesome guns!
The 640 Pro has the full night sights, moon clips, and upgraded looks (fluted barrel), but the M&P 340 is considerably lighter (13oz scandium-alloy vs 23oz stainless steel), has the nice black finish, and still has the big dot front sight.
Whichever I choose will be an EDC and will endure a lot of practice time at the range. I currently don't have a gun that allows pocket carry, so that would be a nice option to have with a j frame since I live in Florida and wear a suit and tie 5 days per week.
I was considering a 649, but think I have since ruled it out - now it's between the 640 Pro Series and M&P 340.
I'm stuck between the two - help me decide and tell me which one you would pick!
Does anybody have both? Any issues with jumping the crimp on the M&P 340? Trigger pull and any other comparisons on the two?
I guess the biggest question is if the lighter weight and slight bit of more concealability from the M&P 340 is worth a little more recoil, and giving up the extra features on the 640 Pro?
Thanks!
