Plastic, oh no. :yikes: Sold all mine years ago.
Get a nice 1911 to go with your collectible wood and metal carbines.
If you just want a .40 there are 1911 makers who build them in .40 Wilson for one. Ed Brown makes a nice 10mm
I like the .38 super. Almost the same length cartridge as 45acp which means no feed issues. A bit less recoil than 45acp.
But prefer my daily carry, a 4 1/4" 45acp from Ed Brown.
