Thank you Drake. I see you seem to have a bit of an issue with the FMU term used for guns with synthetic frames. I agree. A Glock with a metal slide and metal mag catch is technically "full metal" in terms of comparing with the real steel, but it still doesn't ring right to me when half the gun is plastic.

And hey, a quick look in the classifieds right now will show a few such ads that advertise FMU for stock metal or partly metal guns. So it happens quite regularly, and I'd personally like to see that term NOT used except when appropriate.
