I have 2 beautiful Colt 10mm's - a Delta Elite and a Delta Gold Cup. I have a Ceiner 22LR conversion that works for both of them - and works very well. I carry a Kahr P45 (45 ACP) as my every-day concealed carry gun and I'd like to buy a slide assembly and barrel in 45 ACP so I could shoot that caliber in the Colt 1911 (10mm's). Then, if that worked, I'd have 22LR, 10mm and 45 ACP on one platform.
Does anyone see any reason this can't be done? I already know the 45ACP Colt magazines fit the 10mm Colt guns. But will they work reliably? How about ejection - will that be OK?
I can buy a complete 45 ACP "upper" for less than $300 and I'd like to know the feasability of doing this before I spend the money. BTW I have experience as a mechanical engineer and some experience as a gunsmith, but wouldn't want to mechanically modify the 10mm's
Thanks for your help.
