I'm just wondering from a hypothetical standpoint, that if I wanted to design a semi-automatic pistol to interchange between 9mm and .45 ACP as easily as possible, how many parts can be the same?
Could I use the same frame, and design thicker magazines for the 9mm version?
Could I use the same slide, and just use a thicker barrel on the 9mm? Or are there other parameters I would be missing by doing this?
What other parts could be the same, and what would be required to be different?
