Yes, they are different. The biggest difference is the size of the magwell. A 10mm mag won't fit in a standard .45 frame because it is quite a bit longer.
Similarly, a .45 mag won't fit in a 10mm frame because it is too wide.
Because of the controlled feed design of the 1911 platform, and. because the mags are single stack, there isn't a frame that will accept both and be reliable as the mag will wobble on the magwell and. cause feeding issues
Interesting...
I just took my STI .45, Dan Wesson 9mm, and Springfield 10mm and swapped the magazines all around.
How woulld you explain that?
