About the only advantage I can see for titanium is extreme durability, which is important when one is shooting their lights at 10 paces with a shotgun. While the thick HAIII anodized aluminum held up, I'm not sure it would at say 5 paces. I don't think this is probably a normal practice though. Yes, I personally would love a titanium Rotary, just for the extra bullet-proofness... literally. I happen to know from experience that a 9mm 124 grain bullet traveling at 1500 fps will go right through that cheap aluminum (shoddy choice of material if you ask me). I mean why aerospace aluminum? It isn't designed to fly. Even with fins attached mine didn't fly longer than the Wrights brothers 12 seconds, though it did go much further. Yes, I would need a titanium HDS... maybe as a twisty so it wouldn't have that soft vulnerable underbelly of rubber for a switch... the Achilles heal of the light when shooting it. If more people just started shooting their HDS lights, then maybe would get some in titanium sooner.
