This could be a simply answered question. I've seen it asked a few times with research but the answers didn't help me understand the "why?" of it.
So I have a .45 1911. I can buy a 22 LR conversion kit for it. I believe that's just a barrel and slide and maybe some specific magazines.
Why is it possible to convert to .22 but not another caliber like 9mm? I understand there are specific limitations like having modified mags but I still haven't been able to grasp why I could convert to such a low caliber and not somewhere in between.
Appreciate the enlightenment.
