That is messed up!
Well shucks, you're no fun to be around!I tend to go by the manufacturers recommendations, and generally don't have issues like this. I don't run diesel in my Ferrari, and I don't reach under the lawn mower when it's running.

I own the M&P version of this scandium J-frame .357, and I've had none of these problems:I believe that there is a limit to nearly everything. In my opinion, the S&W 642 represents the lower weight limit for a .38 Special revolver for several reasons. Reasonable wear and reasonable recoil are two that come to mind. The alloy frame with a steel cylinder is light ENOUGH for me and is totally practical. Those pictures illustrate it much better than I could state it regarding the use of a titanium cylinder - too light and not particularly durable.
I am not a particular fan of "trick" bullets either. A good 158 gr lead Hollow Point with a Plus P load is enough for me.
Every body has their opinion and that is mine. Kind of like the artistic term "the golden mean"...

S&W should put that photo of the Titanium cylinder in the manual. It would be a real "grabber"!

I'm very happy to own an all stainless Smith and Wesson Revolver.
I'd never have guessed that less than a box of the wrong ammo ended with that much damage.
Kinda like taking the family sedan to the local dirt track,then wondering why all the shocks and springs are bent and broken.
