Quote from: bonj on May 14, 2020, 05:03:05 PMI have always had an issue with the liberal use of the term “Alloy Frame” by gun manufacturers and gun sellers. Obviously, all steel is actually an alloy of some sorts. In the real world, commercially available “Alloy” steel in bar or plate is a chrome-moly type, like AISI 4130. Since there are so many misuses of the term being used synonymously for Aluminum and even Pot Metal [zinc alloy] frames, that there really should be some kind of impetus to clarify the term.

[T]he P01 has an alloy frame.
