The uppers are the same on a 2011 as the 1911.

Are you referring to a sight tracker on a 1911? You can but you could only use it competitively in Limited 10 with 10 round magazines. You can try Limited or Open but the limited capacity would be a severe disadvantage.

It would still be a cool piece though if it's a range toy only.

The number of contact points are the same with the sight tracker as a non sight tracker if done right.

As for building one with a new upper, it may be easier for them to do to get a tight fit. If you change caliber, you would need a new upper anyway.

Is there any difference to upper on 2011 and 1911. Just wondering..have never seen a 1911 hydrid gun

No, slides are the same.

Hybrid single stacks are very uncommon because they don't really fit well into any of the popular competition divisions. I've never seen someone who is just a "gun guy" with a sight tracker, only USPSA shooters.

Hybrid on a 2011 is a nice set up because you'll have lighter reciprocating mass (of the slide) and heavy static barrel (& the front sight does not move with the slide). You can achieve a faster follow up shot for USPSA and IPSC (two round per target). However, I have not seen any single stack USPSA Grand Master who used a hybrid on 1911 in any major match.
