Guys,

S&W makes lightweight revolvers with titanium cylinders (I have one). Taurus makes revolvers with titanium frames, and 1911 titanium frames are on the market. Also, there is at least one rifle with a titanium action on the market.

I suspect titanium would work great as a frame for any firearm. The stuff is hard to machine and pretty expensive. (I have 48 years of ME experience including jet engine, rocket engine and nuclear reactor design.)
