I've read of several smith's rechambering 9x19 barrels for a 1911 for 9x23.
Assuming a 'standard' 9x19 barrel, are there any concerns in doing this? I'm wondering if certain brands lack chamber length to accommodate the longer round, or if some brands might lack structural integrity for the increased pressure?
If someone's done this, what barrel did you start with, and what were your results?
I'm cooking up a plan, but want to be able to count to ten after I'm done....
