Why not chop off the 9mm barrel and thread the receiver for a 30 cal Luger barrel??? Maybe not the whole barrel stub, but enough to hold it securely...You might have to extend the chamber a bit, but you can rent a 30 Luger chambering reamer (or find a nut with one sitting on his bench, next to his other Broomhandle/Luger projects)...I think this was a common modification, years ago...

I've been thinking of a long barreled P-38...When the economy picks up...
