I disagree with the NRA here.

If you can make them it should be fine no matter how detectable they might be.

I do wonder just how useful a plastic gun would be. Some parts need to be made of steel.

The barrel would almost certainly have to be metal. It might be possible to make a barrel out of some exotic ceramic material since we have knives now with ceramic blades but a barrel has to also withstand quite a bit of pressure.
