He's building a souped up custom. Wants a ported barrel and slide for his dream 9mm that he's putting on a kimber 1911 frame. Any ideas? I'm at a total loss. Thanks guys

Why?? That is only question I can come up with.

Regret: "Those WERE the droids I was looking for.

I'd never question his motives. It's what he wants so I'm trying to help. Like I said, he's a friend.

use a ramped barrel and have the frame cut.

45 acp and 9 mm have different feed ramp angles.

ejector and slide stop are the only other parts in the frame that need to be replaced.
