Would have to be a total redesign then. Gradient with thinner walls? Might end up super stable with all that rim weight. Switching from spikes to ultralights would shed some weight too. ---

> [@Andy\_B](#): > > Sorry. Forgot to quote this. Oooooh. I missed that post earlier. I understand. It looks like its close to 1.6 times the weight. I never knew it was so much heavier. “Titanium is 60% the weight of steel, and aluminum is 60% the weight of titanium.” Source: [weight difference between aluminum and titanium | 1911Forum](https://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=233139) "Aluminum .09750 lb/ci Titanium .16300 lb/ci Tensile Yield Strength 6061-T6 45,000 PSI 7075-T6 67,000 PSI Titanium (general) 110,000 PSI" (edited) source: [http://www.cnczone.com/forums/general-off-topic-discussions/19373-titanium-vs-aluminum.html](http://www.cnczone.com/forums/general-off-topic-discussions/19373-titanium-vs-aluminum.html) So its not about just because you _can_ stretch the walls laughably thin, but rather you’d almost need to in order to save weight. _sings_ The more you know!!! ---
