This Model 342-1 AirLite Ti uses a titanium-alloy cylinder and an aluminum-alloy frame to achieve an approximate published empty weight of around 12 oz. The barrel assembly is a two-piece design with a stainless-steel barrel liner and an alloy shroud, delivering a strong, lightweight configuration.
The action is double-action-only with an enclosed hammer, and the revolver holds five rounds. An internal key lock is located on the right side. The yoke cut is marked 342-1, consistent with the model designation.
It wears fixed iron sights: a serrated ramp front sight and an integral topstrap groove for the rear. The black synthetic boot-style grips feature molded checkering and finger grooves for a compact, secure hold.
The 1.875-inch barrel is marked ".38 S&W SPL +P" with a jacketed-only advisory. The revolver presents a clean two-tone appearance with a satin silver frame and matte gray cylinder. It was manufactured in the United States in the early 2000s.
