This is my wrist buster. It has traveled many a mile in an IWB holster.
The symbol on the side plate is the Scandium atom with it's 21 protons orbiting the nucleus. The frame is not made of pure Scandium. It is mostly Aluminum with a minute amount of scandium added to make it stronger and more durable.

Holster
The holster is a Barsony. They are economical, well made holsters. I own a couple. And they have a nice web-site

EDC 340pd with Craig Spegles
Here's one you missed, and a good carry gun....
However, if you want small, but vicious recoil:
Then there are the lightweight tamer guns.....

There are not too many Sc/s 386 around.

2016-06-06_12-19-19 by alexrex20, on FlickrAtomic logo meaning?
My 329 PD, 329 Night Guard, and 396 Night Guard, are all scandium alloy (per SW customer service); and all have the blast shield. Only the 329 PD has the atomic logo with 22 electrons..
My 342, 296, 396 Mountain Lite have no blast shield and per SW customer service, no scandium in spite of all having the 22 electron atomic logo on the right side of the frame.
All above have the titanium cylinder, except the Night Guards.
So what does the atomic logo really mean?

Horrible cell phone pic. But my edc 360 j with a 638 hammer I switched out.
242's definitely have a Scandium frame.
22 electrons means titanium, per its atomic number. The ones with the 22 electron atomic symbol mean it has a titanium cylinder. Some guns have a scandium frame but stainless cylinder and also have an atomic symbol logo but it only has 21 electrons for scandium, per its atomic number. For example, my 342PD (aluminum frame, titanium cylinder) has the 22 and my 386Sc/S (scandium frame, stainless cylinder) has the 21.

Incorrect. All scandium frame guns have a blast shield on the frame above the forcing cone. The 242 is just aluminum frame.
They didn't start adding scandium until the later guns like 340, 386 and 329, thus allowing the Magnum cartridges.
