With that in mind, the answer is:
No, not that I ever heard of.
There was a 9mm kit for GM.

Thanks Jim. I had no idea. I've seen kits for rimfire and as a result assumed there would be centerfire kits. Live and learn !!!

The problem, as we keep saying, is that there are NO interchangeable parts in a 1911 pistol. Even if you were to swap top ends between two 1911s of the same make and model (and therefore, caliber) chancer are that something, somewhere would need adjustment -- or more. So caliber conversions never became popular, because they usually didn't work all that well, at least not on all guns.
Rimfires are another story: the barrel in these is fixed (since they're straight blowbacks) so working out a way to make them work in most 1911s out there is easier... but even with these we occasionally hear that X conversion doesn't suit Y pistol's frame all that well.
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.
