RB:

That's one question guaranteed to start a firestorm around here.

Gentlemen, ten paces, turn, and fire at will.   ;)

Is the seecamp a better made pistol than the rohrbaugh?

RB.  The Rohrbaughs and Seecamps are both quality made pistols.  The Seecamp has its own following, so to speak, and the largest caliber it comes in is .380.  I like having both.

Richard is right.  A firestorm could start.    ;D

My Stealth is not a replacement, but rather another option for a pocket gun. My favorite daily carry, up until I picked up my Stealth yesterday, is a S&W 340PD AirLite .357 magnum. While the Stealth is a little heavier than the 340PD, I suspect it will become my favorite carry.   :)

Looks like several 340PD's are being supplemented in here.

I think a lot of us carried a light weight J frame at one point or another. I had a M&P360? I do miss that gun. :(

It's defiantly a nice gun. The 357 bullets do have some kick.

Here is my new thumper. I'm waiting on a new pair of Badger grips for it. On the right it's in the Ritchie Leather holster.

My Talo had the ramp front sight, I like the Hi-Viz better, super easy to see in daylight, I haven't tried it in low light yet.

Excellent, there, John.  I've been looking at these off and on all day, except for this evening.  I can't decide on the 360 or the 340 PD.  I looked at that video on the 360 3 times today; still can't decide.

kj,
  I have read a couple of post by guys who had a 360 and got rid of it for a 340, they said they had the hammer snag on clothing when trying to draw the gun. I have also seen a couple that have had the hammers bobbed to eliminate the snagging issue.

John.  That's a good point.  The guy in the video brings up another point in that with the 340 PD, you're limited to double acton only; don't know how often one would need single action, probably never, in a defense situation.  I'm still trying to decide.  I've wanted a S & W .357 revolver for quite some time.

Does any one know about some S&W models that have short firing pins to conform to California drop tests? I understand that these may tend to result in light strikes but longer pins are available to correct the issue.
