Doug,

Does the case rim fit in the breechblock? If not, then it would have to be opened up... IF it does fit the breechblock, then all you would need is a barrel change...

Since the standard OAL is somewhat longer, I doubt that feeding would be very reliable...but you might be willing to live with that..and of course you would have to beef up the recoil spring... I would stay away from hot loads too...

but on the other hand -WHY? what would you gain over 9MM loaded hot?
