I'd also advise selling it...
Unless there is some personal attachment.
Then, I'd probably advise leaving it as-is and buying something else to shoot.
I only 'found' two .455 barrels for the 1911: One recently sold on eBay for around $400 (IIRC...), and another ostensibly for sale elsewhere at around $800 (again, 'memory-dependent' − lol).
I didn't bother recording the link because, (a) I was pretty sure you weren't looking for an $800 barrel, and (b) it was on something like page eight of my Google search results and thus a little hard to believe.
In any case, for obvious reasons, I would not advise the caliber change.
I just didn't know those reasons were that 'obvious'.
