I just bought one of these a few weeks ago. Didn't really know what the hell it was; I thought 360's were .357 Magnum only. Pretty nice gun; mine is marked "Airweight" on the right side. I believe the frame is scandium and the cylinder is definitely steel. It's kind of like it has a 442 cylinder. Sort of a hybrid. Guess what? The Lock doesn't even bother me! Recoil with the + P's I used was managable for me, but the gun did shoot low at 7 and 15 yards. I feel this was more me than the gun, because I seem to have a hell of a flinch. I shoot left handed, so I tend to push the shot in anticipation of recoil, which makes it go low and right in my case. I feel in a self defense situation, that this may not come up though, due to the circumstances. Anyway, it carries and shoots great in my opinion, and really does feel lighter than any of the Airweights I've had in the past. Overall, a good choice that I happened to also get at a great price.
