When I said a "titanium revolver" I meant a titanium cylinder - as I more explicitly said in the last line of my previous post. Sorry for any confusion created by my poor phrasing of my question.
But back to the original question: why specifically does S&W recommend against 110 grain magnums in guns with titanium cylinders?

You responded before I finished my revision above.
I would have guessed that you were talking about one of the Taurus offering, but I like to be sure
BTW, the 617Ti is a Total Titanium firearm from Taurus. You have a Titanium frame, Titanium cylinder and a Titanium barrel shroud with a stainless liner.
Titanium is MUCH heavier than Scandium. The 2" Model 340s in question weigh in at under 12 ounces, your revolver 617Ti hits the scale right at the 20 ounce mark. That is a 65% heavier firearm
The warning has nothing to do with the construction materials. It is a physics issue directly related to weights and recoil
