Robert brings up a great point. The ti cylindered guns are like race cars. They run on the cutting edge of technology, definately have their idiosycracies, and few can drive them to their full potential. Remember that .357 ammunition utilizing bullets 120 grs. or less is a big no no. The combination of powders and pressure in such loads will damage the cylinder face as if someone took a rasp to it. My gun has a ti cylinder and I wouldn't want it any other way. The steel cylinders are more versatile and will soak up more recoil. Only you can decide which suits your needs better.
