The 1911 design will handle a loaded round of about 1.26 inches- total length. Any longer than that, and you have to build new frames and slides.
The other factor is, if you make a 1911 type for something longer than the 1.26" or so of the 45 ACP, etc., you have to lengthen the grip so the magazine will hold the cartridges. You'll discover very quickly that the grip gets too long, and feels cumbersome in most peoples' hands.
Pick up a Desert Eagle sometime, then pick up a 1911, you'll get the picture.
