Then: P220 Now: 340PD

Post by sre1 »

After years of carrying a P220, I switched (at first, only in summer) to a S&W 340pd and couldn't be happier. I use it w/an Uncle Mike's L/H inside the waistband holster, but I wear it outside the waistband on my rightside. I sewed the bottom of the belt clip down so it won't slip off. I also sewed the holster so it fits the pistol like a glove. Won't slip out, even when inverted, but pulls out easily enough. I also sewed some slippery-ass nylon over the grippy original material, so my shirt glides right over. And I've shot enough .357 Hydra-Shoks to be super confident/comfortable w/the recoil. Slick little setup, for me anyway. Sooo lightweight and comfy.

Currently researching TB/Supressor options for the Sig, as well as a new compact/subcompact .45 for CCW.

Love this gun in a front pocket holster or straight up the bak pocket of the Levis. So light in the heat of South Florida--never an excuse to leave home without one.

The shorty Kimbers are very nice, like the Ultra Carry II.

I carry my 340SC everwhere, you can't beat how light and comfy it is to carry.
I have mine in an Uncle Mike's sidekick size 36. I can even manage tucking my shirt in (as long as the shirt is not real long) with this settup.
All you can see is the clip for the holser just under my belt, just slightly.
In cooler weather I carry my walther P99 with a Milt Sparks inside the waist band holster.
