Anybody anywhere make a 40 cal 1911 Commander......Leave out Novak/Wilson and those other high $$$$ custom makers..........Thanks.
Most manufacturers use(d) the same breechface for Super and .40.I don't think you can convert a .38 Super to .40. 1911s use three different breech face cuts, one for .45 ACP, one for .40 and 10mm, and one for 9mm and .38 Super.
Thanks for refreshing my memory.TRX said:Some manufacturers used the same breechface for .38/9mm and .40. Later Para Ordnance slides were that way. You had to have the extractor and slide release to match the caliber.
Oh, that would work! Now to figure out if it's a ramped barrel gun and if it's a Nowlan/Wilson (square ramp tip) or Para (round ramp tip) cut frame???
