Titanium would be hideously expensive for a survival weapon,
especially as applied to moving parts in a gun.
And the light weight would create eye-tearing recoil.
Any bear defense load would generate too much recoil.
Smith & Wesson makes a titanium/scandium .357 Magnum revolver,and the
recoil I'm told is hard,but still useable.
They may also make a .44Mag model,I'm not sure.
