[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 561784, member: 385"] Optimally, in a 1911 the desired breechface for a 9mm is a tad smaller than one acceptable for a .38 Super. The 9mm slide will probably work for a Super, but don't expect 100% if working the reverse caliber conversion. The extractor tension will have to be reset. The factory barrel twist may not be optimal for .38 Super. Aftermarket .38 Super barrels are 1-16 or 1-14". Some 9mm barrels run as fast as 1-10" twist. [/QUOTE]
