for the price I say look for the used Norinco when they were available new I had nothing but good luck with them they are completely iterchangable with the Colt the only differance between the two is the Norinco is completely hardened where as the Colt isn't it also has a stainless steel match barrel.
In the old day (when I still had an FFL) I use to sell a ton of them with no complaints every one loved them . As for caliber .45 is the best indoor close combat round you are going to find (great wound ballistics) but if you want a .40 try looking at a 10mm Delta Elite I really liked it
