I know at least some of these revolvers mentioned are still in production, but am curious why S&W would surplus them out, presumably at a very affordable cost to a big parts house like that.

I don't think S&W is putting titanium cyls in anything anymore, the new 342 has a steel cylinder.
My assumption is that they just unloaded old stock. I know that Numrich has had the 242 cyls for quite a while, I bought one a year or so ago for a project that never materialized.
Also, the 5 shot Ti L-frame .44spl cyls are listed as 386PD cyls, I think that's wrong, they should be either 296 or 396PD. The 386PD was a 7 shot .357.
