1911A1 to 10mm?

Standard .45? Or 9mm/.38 Super?

Slide:
To my knowledge a 45 can't be done due to a larger breech face. .38 Super or 9mm slide can be opened up to accept the larger case head.

Barrel: Generally available from Brownells.
Magazines
Ejector: Possibly may need to be changed.
Springs: Need to be changed to appropiate weight.

If you have to have a 10 mm 1911 you may want to look into a Colt Delta. It could prove to be cheaper in the long run, if found used.

George, have I forgotten anything?

Well, you need the complete top end: Slide, barrel, recoil springs, etc. And you need, probably, to change the ejector.

I've not seen "loose" 10mm stuff at gun shows. You might be just as well off to buy a Delta Elite, complete...Dunno.

If it's a .45, you could go to the .400 Corbon or .45 Super & still use the same slide but with a different barrel/spring setup. :)

CastleBravo, the consensus seems to be (and accurately so) that you need a new top end. That's the way I'd do it anyway. Then you have 2 handguns in 1. George
