I have the 340pd (hammerless model) and everything about it is great except the recoil. You have to shoot one to actually understand what kind of recoil it delivers, unlike anything I have ever shot. It is not a range gun, and using .38 instead of .357 helps some but still kicks like the proverbial mule on steroids. The light weight makes it a great carry gun but it is for short range only due to the recoil.
