S&W J-frame scandium revolver questions

[Fletchette]

1) I assume the boycott of S&W is over as they went bankrupt and were sold to new owners. Is this correct?

2) How durable is scandium (actually aluminum with a trace amount of scandium). Aluminum tends to be malleable and losens up under heavy loads. Is scandium based aluminum harder?

3) Why the limit on bullet weight (bullets less than 125 gr not recommended)? I would think that a light, frangible .357 would be perfect for this gun.

(1) Forget the boycott.
(2) Scandium-aluminum alloy is stronger the aluminum alone.
(3) Due to the recoil in such a light gun, light bullets may jump the crimp.

If you have never fired full-house .357 Magnum ammunition in a lightweight gun, you are in for a real eye-opening experience.
