The Smith & Wesson 340PD AirLite is one of the lightest, most capable concealed carry revolvers ever built. Chambered in .357 Magnum with .38 Special +P compatibility, its scandium alloy frame and titanium cylinder deliver full-power defensive performance at a remarkable 11.8 ounces. Built on S&W’s J-Frame platform with a concealed hammer and double-action-only trigger, this revolver is engineered for deep concealment and reliable deployment when it matters most. This variant ships without the internal lock for those who prefer an unaltered action.
