Sure, if you're willing to pay about $1500 for just the conversion kit and the base pistol...

No, they won't. Different build structure - 2011's and 1911's are fundamentally different from the frame out. 2011 frames are three piece from a slide, metal receiver and a polymer grip. 1911's are two piece with the slide and metal receiver/grip.

... and doubled the price tag just for the inclusion of a sight tracker barrel. Ugh. So ProG4 is the brand name and not just the shop name?

I once had an SD hybrid barrel fall apart on me before, where the ported section separated from the barrel. Turns out the ports and the barrel are machined separately and then welded together afterwards. If you look inside the outer barrel at the attachment point to the ports, you'll see blobs from welding. Given the two-piece manufacturing, it wouldn't be hard to get two tone.
