It's illegal, and incredibly stupid and dangerous. Which never stopped anybody from doing anything I guess. Those zoraki guns won't stand up to the pressures of live ammo. Even if you mill your own barrels. It's going to fail catastrophically eventually.
I own a bunch of zoraki, ekol, bruni, and kimar guns. I've used them in a bunch of low budget films. The kimar and bruni are older and I don't fire them anymore. I've seen those brands fail badly. The ekol and zoraki are higher quality but still, they are not designed for live ammo. WELL, they have started to convert the Ekol and Bruni to fire 22lr, and that seems to be working OK. Chiappa is doing it. They sell a 1911-22 and an m9-22.
The 925 doesn't have a shorter barrel by the way. It's the same as the 914, it's just a 914 with a shell on it. It's not a different shell. It's just a plastic shell over a stripped down 914.
