As we all know this round has a much higher PSI than even .38 special +p+ loads do.

I'm not sure if I fully agree with your facts, but I do agree with the conclusion of them being great guns.
The pressure problem relates more to the cylinder and forcing cone than to the frame on a revolver. As we know, the barrel and forcing cone are traditional Stainless Steel. The cylinder, where the pressure is most severe, isn't made of the Scandium, but instead titanium. I assume in reality both are made from some alloy of those materials, and I'm clueless as to what other material the cylinder may include.
What makes the guns easy to use is the weight, and both the frame and cylinder are significantly lighter than conventional handguns.
