I thought all steels were an alloy of some type, just depending on what percentages of elements it had in it. Stainless is an steel alloy with a percentage of chomium isnt it? Ruger always advertised a Chome-Molybdenum alloy steel
FWIW, when sombody uses the term "alloy", w/o any qualifer as to type, I presume they mean a pot metal or aluminum alloy confection ILO forged or cast steel (YMMV) - why I used the word "suggests" as the person's meaning.
