Hank -

FWIW, when I got my 340 right after they first came out, I tested the "jumping the crimp" thing with several diffent brands/weights. IIRC, 5 out of 8 did not stand up to zero movement of the 5'th round - and, disappointinly for me, the Silvertip was one of them*. That testing (and shot to shot recovery time) led me to generally just keep the 340 loaded with 38+Ps, sometimes with the last chamber or two a real .357.

Edited to add: * Maybe I just had a box from a batch with light crimps.

But more on topic, I'm with many others. It depends on circumstances, especially clothing. PM-9 with 6+1 in 9mm is the "go with" on-bod gun for today.

Yeah, the new Ruger mousegun might be a "fit" some day. And it still won't go in some places I can tuck NAA .22Mag - not what I'd want for sure, but as others have also said, might very well beat nothing.
