Detonics used to chamber the Combat Master in .38 Super. You might be able to find a nice one for less than it would cost to convert a Colt.
How nostalgic are you about 9x23 Winchester? I wouldn't want to try to run full-power 9x23 in a 3" gun, but a conversion from 9mm Luger to 9x23 would be easier, in terms of getting the rounds to feed from a mag, fit properly in the chamber, etc., than would 9mm to .38 Super.
