Interesting that you note:
"3. The abscence of a blast shield in a scandium framed revolver with a titanium cylinder chambered in 357 Mag is indicative of what?"

My 386SC which fits that same criteria does have a flame shield. I wonder if they had problems and added the shields later.

I really don't know, and for whatever reasons, S&W will not answer my very direct and pointed inquiries. I'm still waiting on a response regarding the raison d'etre of the 360J. The fact of the matter is that the real nexus of this thread is the mystery M360J.
