Default M-629-6 Backpacker....Alloy/Steel?

A friend just bought a 2 1/2" Backpacker. ALL I can find out online is there are MANY of them for sale, rather than the spec's I need.

My SCS&W #3 only goes as far as the -5's.

Are these an alloy or steel framed gun? WEIGHT?

Thank You,

FN in MT

I have a friend who has one. I know it is stainless steel,just like the other 629's, and IIRC, it weighs about the same as my Mtn Gun 629, or about 39 ounces unloaded.
