Matt -

Did you ever get your M1911 barrel converted to 30 Luger???

I also am interested in the progress, if any in this project.

Oh Lord, something else for me get interested in. I am sooo weak when it comes to this type of thing. So far, I don't own a Govt. size 1911 in 9mm/38Super. I am more interested in a Commander size 9mm.

After a 15 months wait, and more than a couple of phone calls, I received my BarSto barrels in 30 Luger for a Browning Hi Power and a Colt Detective originally in 40 S&W. It was worth the wait, just to get them. I have fitted the new barrel to the BHP, and finally found the correct recoil spring rate for reliable function with both 85gr FMJ, and 93gr FMJ. What a kick, and scary accurate.

I plan to start on the Colt Detective project next, and hopefully get it up and running soon. Wish me luck!!

Obviously, I reload for the 30 Luger cartridge, and can afford to shoot it all that I want.
