I love scandium framed sidearms. Open carried the S&W 329PD from Feb. 2011 until around Jan. 2018 when I bought my scandium framed S&W SW1911 SC E-series .45. Both are very light for their caliber, but also heavy hitting, if necessary.
The 329PD is a beast (read: "Good God-almighty, that HURT!!!") with .44 Mag rounds. Like a baseball bat to the hand type of hurt. With .44 Specials, it's a pussycat.
The 1911 is a bit better with standard .45 ball ammo. I love carrying them both albeit a bit large for CCW. They'll both do the job if, heaven forbid, I ever need them to.
