I recall reading an article a few years back, wherein the author wrote about a 'smith or firearms manufacturer who built up some 10mm 1911's using a standard .45 slide. No alterations to the breechface, but the extractor was fiddled with, naturally.
He went on to write that they used regular .45 magazines, which trick I had used with varying success myself in a 10mm 1911. What really caught my attention was the mention of the unaltered breechface.
So, inquiring minds want to know, have any of you ever done such a thing to a 1911? If so, what was involved? And lastly, but of course the purpose for this post, does anyone think it would work with a SIG 220?
In fact, one more question...does anyone know of 220's being converted to 10mm in ANY fashion?
