For the sake of asking, is the 340pd (scandium) worth the weight savings in an ankle carried snub?

I was going to recommend the 340. Not only is it lighter, but it allows you to shoot .357 mag rounds in addition to .38.
As far as location, I wear mine on my vest in a uncle mikes vest holster. The armor straps pass through the holster and hold it tight. Mine is on my right side, allowing for a left handed draw if needed. I have also heard of officers carrying in a cargo pocket if allowed at your agency. Desantis nemesis are great holsters in either the normal or cargo pocket variety.
I agree with you that a revolver is the way to go as a bug. Many officers don't realize that autos will not fire if the slide is pushed back. Basically if you jam an auto into someone's gut it may not fire..
