Rock Island 22 TCM/9mm 1911 -- 38 Super conversion?

For those who own a Rock Island 22 TCM/9mm 1911, have you tried (or researched about) a 38 Super conversion?

That RIA 1911 already uses 38 Super magazines for both 22 TCM and 9mm; and comes with 22 TCM and 9mm barrels (and appropriate recoil springs).

Would I just need a 38 Super barrel and spring?

And, no, I haven't contacted Rock Island.

I started with Yahoo Answers... considering the 2-week deadline.

Thanks.

    It should work.  For a budget barrel, try the swenson barrel at Midwayusa.

    Not sure if a new spring is necessary, but you will also need barrel link and pin.It may require some hand fitting.

    Guns are very dangerous. It is sad that Yahoo is over.
