Anyone make a compact .38 super?

[Clifford]

Here I sit at my reloading bench fitting a swept grip saftey and checkering & undercutting my front strap ( first time trying to checker ) on my .38 super. Next to me is my compact model 1911 .45 this gun is with me all day. Gets me to thinking, anyone make a compact in .38 super? I like the .45 but that same gun with a little less recoil and another round or two in the mag would really make me happy.

I know some Compact 1911's are built for the 9mm, so maybe I would have to purchase a 9mm and have the chamber reamed to the correct depth for the super. Then possibly modify the 9 mm mags to allow the longer .38 to fit.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

That one is more of a Commander length than a compact. I have only ever seen the Commanders in 38 super though never an officers size.

Thats a commander size gun. I'm looking for a 3.5" barrel and the short officers model size grip frame. I would spend $1000 for the gun if it could be found. Otherwise I'll end up spending more to modify a 9mm to super.

Sooo, any thoughts about 9mm to .38 super conversion in an officer's sized gun?
