I converted a Star BM, a 1911, a couple of Walther P-38's, and am looking at another conversion...Haven't had any problems with a bottleneck 7.65 Parabellum feeding in a pistol offered in/developed for 9mm...

Maybe a feed ramp challenge...

(I have no idea what a Colt Defender is)

Edit: I don't load lead bullets except in .45 ACP...FMJ all the way!
