Is it a given that you need new magazines? Some 9mm 1911 magazines have a spacer at the rear for the shorter cartridge. But some don't. My Springfield magazines don't have the spacer. I don't see why they wouldn't work.

My only holdup is I'm just not sure I want to add another caliber.
Those are ramped barrels. Will not fit a M1911 frame unless it is cut out for it. It does fit my Ruger SR1911 frame, but will need to modify a slide to get it to function.
