[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1801135, member: 2736"] As said before, Titanium is very strong but as far as I know they all have stainless or chrome molly bolts. So this tells me there is a problem with wear or shear strength. Titanium is 40% lighter that steel but if you weigh the action only you haven't saved that much. It "is" beautiful and impervious to almost any thing corrosive. There are ways to lighten bolts but again the cost becomes a factor. It is easy to save the few ounces in other areas if that is your goal but if you want a Titanium action by all means buy one. I have an all Titanium 44 special that only has steel in the barrel insert and the trigger assembly and it is extremely light but kicks like a mule. so it has many uses but apparently not for all parts. The manufacture has discontinued this pistol and now makes a replacement with very few Titanium parts. where strength is required but not in high wear areas. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
