No Such Thing As A Stupid Question

OK this might be a stupid question but, with the 1911 what is the difference between frames when it comes to caliburs. Lets say I have a 1911 in 45 Auto and decided to order Mech Tech CCU carbine conversion could I orer in 9mm and pick up a couple of magazines in 9mm for 1911 and make it work. I guess another question would be if this was possible would there be problems with regulations going from 45 to 9mm and back again?

Sorry about spelling and grammer.

Thanks Bob

Not impossible but I don't know about your specific suggestion.

The biggest problem I see with your proposed idea is that the ejectors are different (and placed differently) between the calibres.

Frames are the same for different calibers, ejector is different for 9mm & .45and would have to be changed.

I could be wrong but it looks like conversion kit only needs frame. I really do not know. But have thought about building 9mm 1911 from frame up so if i needed to buy bolt, and stuff at same time would be used in future. The reason I bring it up is would like to have hand gun cartrige in carbine, and would also like 9mm 1911, but if I went about it this way could I could use existing frame and slowly buy new frame and build up 1911 in 9 mm. For some reasone I can not sell guns. so this was a way to use a gun I dont shoot much.

had a mechtech, put a 38 ejector into my 45 and filed it to work with my 45 slide. voila bottom end works with the 45 and the mtech.

As discussed above, I can confirm.

The Mech uses the ejector on the frame. If you have a 45 now, and want a 9mm Mech; you should get a 9mm ejector for your gun. Ejectors are $41.52 for 9mm extended and $30.18 for 45, 40 and 38.

Currently Mechs for 1911s are $375 and $395 for Glocks.
