Hi
I have Model 36 steel J-frame S&W. I am looking at the new 340 or 360 scandium J frame. I like the size of the 36, it's just heavy. Scandium frame is a lot lighter.
My question for firing 38 +P only(forget 357), which one can last longer assuming I shoot a lot. Basically, I am comparing between scandium alloy vs steel frame.
To be honest, I still don't feel very comfortable with my 36 shooting a lot of rounds even though it's steel, there are part of the frame it's very thin particularly where the barrel screw onto the frame. The new scandium alloy seems to have a more robust design than the old model 36.
Just want to hear from people here.
Thanks
