Cylinder face erosion
Yes, you've got flame cutting--much as I love the PDs, they were design failures, and are unfit for their intended purpose. I went through three titanium cylinders despite careful ammo selection before I had them put a stainless steel cylinder in--which does add more ounces than I like. I later picked up a second PD, thinking I'd keep it pristine and only shoot a couple cylinders to sight it in--and then had flame cutting in the FIRST SIX ROUNDS. I still carry as my snake gun, but dare not use it with any magnum rounds. Not happy with S&W on this one (though I confess I love my .380 Bodyguards, but that's a different story....)
