You wouldn’t happen to know how difficult it would be to get replacement barrels shipped to a non-ffl holder, would you? I need to get some replacement barrels for a Colt Officer’s, and Star PD, plus I was looking at some conversion kits to change to 9mm or 22LR for practice shooting and could not find much information about it.

I imagine Colt Officers Model barrels would be a bit difficult to find I guess the internet is the place to start. Star PD barrels would probably be available from one of the large used parts dealers. Barrels just might need to be fitted.

There are plenty of .22LR conversion kits for the full size M1911. Not sure for other models.

I don’t think a .45 auto can be converted to 9mm. At one time it was possible to convert 9mm M1911s to .38 Super then back to 9mm if you wanted.

Brownelles, Midway and others will send them right to you. You will need an FFL to buy a new frame however.

You can order barrels and send them right to your house, they are not the regulated portion of a firearm.

No difficulty at all. In the case of the pistols you mention only the frame is a regulated component. Barrels, slides and any part other than the frame can be shipped straight to you with no license. Just FYI conversion barrels and slides for the models you mention may or may not be available. Someone else mentioned Brownells, that would be a good place to start.

Barrels can be freely shipped.

Good luck on the Star. I know of a few sources for Star parts, but not many.
