I figured someone here has gone through this before so i might as well ask.
Looking to assemble a 9mm 1911 in the commander length (4.25" barrel or very similar). Not for any other reason than I dont have a 9mm commander, not likely to be a carry gun, just a range toy and a project.
I have a commander frame, it is cut for a para/clark ramped barrel. Also have all of the frame parts. So basically I need a 9mm slide assy that will work with my frame. Frame is new and I can fit it to the slide if needed, I have done that operation a few times.
I need a slide, barrel, recoil assy, firing pin, ejector, extractor, any slide springs, sights, etc.
I have seen some mention of "narrow hood" for 9mm, i suppose that refers to the rear portion of the chamber. Not really seen ant info on this when looking for 9mm slides, so perhaps it only referrs to one mfg?
Otherwise it appears that I will need the following:
9mm spec commander length slide (needs a 9mm breachface, and possibly the slide is dimensioned in some other way to be 9mm specific?)
9mm barrel, commander length with a para/clark cut ramp.
9mm firing pin, I see they are sold caliber specific so I suppose i need a 9mm?
some sort of ejector, possibly 9mm spec?
9mm recoil assy, or a std commander parts with a 9mm spec spring. I don't have to have a full length rod or anything fancy, unless it really helps reliability.
9mm extractor (pretty sure this is caliber specific)
Any help with sourcing decent parts would be greatly appreciated, and any info will also be helpful.
Thanks!
