Ninerd. The new Air9 is made of normal aluminum, they don't use scandium anymore in the 2012 series. What's odd is most frames would have less then 1% scandium in them and the element can have such an effect on aluminum. Scandium was used to improve welding characteristics and fatigue with allowing smaller tubing.

That would put the cost of a pistol frame running 6 to 7 ounces at about $29,000.00 per copy. He claims that the majority of the pistol frames are aluminum to which a very tiny amount of scandium is added. Or just a few 1/10s of a percent at best. He claims that its disingenuous for Smith & Wesson to advertise them as scandium frames.

The aluminum frame was born and grew to become the Scandium, a very light frame that matches the performance standards of carbon but is more rigid. Scandium is truly the vanguard of modern design and performance in aluminum. You may also like. SCANDIUM. De Rosa North America. $4,600.00.
A scandium frame is not particularly stronger or weaker than a aluminum frame. Steel is a very different material, inherently stronger than aluminum given the same tube thickness but also inherently heavier. From a ride point of view, there are differing opinions on which material is the best for hardtail ride quality.
Compared to this Springfield XD-S .45, the S&W Scandium 1911 Commander fits the single-stack carry gun size need perfectly. The hammer settles nicely into the beavertail when it's cocked. The trigger pull is an easy 4.9 pounds with .0125-inch take-up and a crisp, clean break.
Re: how do the J frames in scandium and alloy hold up to use. My personal carry is a S&W 340 AirLite Sc. I've had (before Magnaporting) the barrel and shroud come loose from recoil from using factory loaded .357 Mags in 158 grains. Recoil is simply horrible. My advise is to stick with .38 Spcl loads, or SS frames. T.

At first I thought I bought it from Bud's - but my history on their site doesn't list it. I think I paid $832 + tax - which ended up at $901.

Easton, manufacturer of aluminum bike frame tubes, began using the technology to make lighter, stronger tube sets than anyone else on the market. Scandium works by convincing aluminum molecules to restructure themselves. When aluminum is smelted it hardens into microscopic grains that fit together to make a solid architecture.

0. No idea about the forged vs cast. In regards to the scandium frame 1911s, the large letters are the older model 1911sc, the one with smaller letters is the newer 1911pd. I do not think any of the S&W 1911s have ramped barrels. All of the one's that I have seen are standard barrels.
Dave Holquist. Despite most of the concealed carry market having migrated to semi-autos, the Airweight remains a very capable, light weight self-defense piece if you prefer revolvers. The Scandium models are great if you want both a lighter gun (by approx. 3oz) and a lighter wallet since they're about twice the cost.
Steel is much stonger than aluminum but aluminum is good enough for a semi-auto frame. The reduced weight will make the gun kick harder. T. Teuthis. 442 …

Light, agile, while retaining good downhill technical ability.
