A bit of clarification here.
Standard alloy is only used for 38 Special J-frames.
All 357 Magnum J-frames are Scandium.
Both alloys weigh very close.
The major difference in the revolvers is that most of the standard alloy 38s have steel cylinders while the early scandium framed revolvers had titanium cylinders. This made the weight difference almost 4 ounces.
