I have an admittedly silly hankering to put together a Nash Bridges knockoff 1911. His was a fancy two-tone Commander base gun with a nice compensator and a few other things.
I'm not planning an exact replica. I'm thinking a railed Commander in 9mm (possibly a Rock Island Ultra MS base gun) with a simple bushing compensator. Hence my question - are .45 and 9mm bushings interchangeable? I know the Commander bushing and the 5-inch bushing aren't the same, but are the outer diameters of the two barrels the same - i.e. being able to use the same bushing? Or do I need to find a 9mm, Commander bushing compensator?
Thanks!
