Total metal jacket (TMJ): Featured in some Speer cartridges, the TMJ bullet has a lead core completely and seamlessly enclosed in brass, copper or other jacket metal, including the base. According to Speer's literature, this prevents hot propellant gases from vaporizing lead from the base of the bullet, reducing lead emissions.
"The pistol had a metal slide and a plastic handle with a metal threaded barrel," the police affidavit stated. "The pistol had one loaded Glock magazine with six nine-millimeter full metal jacket ...
