Like, could you make a smaller version of a 1911 that fires 22lr instead of .45 by just scaling all the parts to the 22lr?

all the parts
Your finger remains the same. Do you really want a half size trigger?
I’ll have you know I have the daintiest hands. Lol
If you’re talking about actually scaling, like a CAD drawing, then no.
If you’re talking most of the appearance and function, then yes! There is a scale model of a Browning M2 machine gun (which normally fires 50 cal ammo) that fires 22lr instead. It will set you back about $20,000.
Short answer no, not everything scales linearly.
You’d have 1/8th the powder charge in a chamber with 1/8th the volume, encased by a barrel 1/2 as thick to contain the same pressure as the full size one.
