There is really no such thing as a specific 9mm 1911 slide. The action length, slide travel, breechface width, and magazine well are the same 9mm to .38 Super. All adaptations of the original .45 size gun.

Got to be careful about those barrel bushings, though.
Some 9mm and .38 barrels are the same outside diameter as .45, .579" or so; but there are also traditional .500" barrels going back to the .38 Super of 1929. My Colt 1991A1 9mm has a half inch barrel, for example.
