Light weight but powerful. That is the hallmark of Smith & Wesson’s Scandium/Titanium revolver series. For a few years now, I have carried a Smith & Wesson 342PD .38 Special revolver everyday. Weighing a bit over eleven ounces, it rides very comfortably in my pocket. It is always there, always ready. It has never failed to fire, even after letting it get very dirty with pocket lint, dust, dirt, sand , sweat, and even chemical fertilizer. Whenever is have needed it, it has always performed as it should. S&W has a series of the PD revolvers, all made with titanium cylinders and scandium frames, which is a special lightweight but strong aluminum alloy. The PD revolvers wear a durable black finish, and my 342PD has never exhibited a hint of corrosion anywhere. Living in the humid Tennessee valley, I have had even stainless steel guns to rust in my pocket, but not the 342PD. S&W has several different size and power revolvers in the PD series, and even a semi-auto or two.
