The ROs have one of the best off the shelf slide to frame fits I have seen on a non-custom pistol.

There’s nothing wrong with a .45 ACP 1911. Still, some prefer the ballistic performance of the 9mm. But what if there were a better option? There is–the old .38 Super, an almost forgotten option, kicks ass. So how hard is it to convert a 1911 to .38 Super?
