I just discovered that Taurus has issued a seven shot .357 mag that has an aluminum frame and titanium cylinder (called multi-alloy). What annoys me is that the new revolver is 4 ounces lighter than my all-titanium .357. I thought I was buying one of the ultimate revolvers for carry and now they cut the weight by 20%. Perhaps a titanium frame is superior to an aluminum frame in some respect--such as strength or corrosion resistance--that justifies the higher weight. Any comments? (And then there is the 12 oz., 5 shot, .357 mag in scandium alloy promised by Smith and Wesson.)
