Jack,
What's a 45-38?
Cogito, ergo armatum sum.
(I think, therefore I'm armed.)
What are you looking for? A barrel? Cartridge?
I have a barrel, what are you planning on putting it on?

The Clerke .38/45 was a early '60s target cartridge. A .45 ACP case necked down to .357. Any M1911 could be converted by simply replacing the barrel (and the usual replace the recoil spring when setting up a target pistol). Same magazines used.
Edit: I wanted one, but couldn't afford the M1911 at the time and Uncle wouldn't let me modify one of the unit pistols.
