Engineered for reliable performance and discreet carry, this 5-shot revolver is a preferred choice for individuals prioritizing immediate readiness and minimal profile.
Key Features
Advanced Material Construction
The 340PD integrates a Scandium alloy frame with a Titanium alloy cylinder. This material pairing results in significant weight reduction without compromising structural integrity or power delivery. This engineering decision optimizes the firearm for extended carry comfort and rapid deployment.
Compact Profile & Concealment
Featuring a 1.875-inch barrel, the 340PD maintains a minimal overall profile. This compact design is specifically engineered to mitigate printing during concealed carry, ensuring effectiveness as a primary or secondary personal defense firearm.
Caliber Versatility
Chambered in .357 Magnum, the revolver also reliably functions with .38 Special ammunition. This provides operational versatility, allowing for cartridge selection based on specific application requirements or training regimens, from full-power defensive loads to more manageable practice ammunition.
Enhanced Sighting System
The revolver is equipped with a highly visible Hi-Viz front sight. This system facilitates rapid target acquisition across varying ambient light conditions, a critical attribute for high-stress personal defense scenarios. The rear sight is an integral U-notch, providing a consistent and durable aiming reference.
Operational Reliability
The 340PD utilizes a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) mechanism, ensuring consistent and predictable operation. This robust action design contributes to the firearm’s long-term reliability and straightforward manipulation, critical factors in a defensive tool.
