Multi-Caliber 1911?

When putting together a long slide build I have wondered what is involved and what is compatible on putting together a pistol that can be used as a platform for multiple calibers?

Of course barrels, recoil springs, magazines would need to be changed.

Anybody out there who has done this type of thing on a 1911 platform?

Interested in this thread. I plan to build a 1911 in 45GAP. Reason being, I have acquired about 20,000 once fired cases. As a reloader, it makes sense to have a platform to use them. I have a Glock 37 to use them in now and that's great, but I love 1911's and would love to have one chambered for the cartridge. It actually a very efficient cartridge.

Well that's an interesting question!
It works in a Glock!

This is what I was thinking. Put together an excellent pistol in order to use several calibers. Although being an addict we want high performance in any endeavour.
