Since I haven't done it myself I can't speak from experience. You can get suppressor ready 1911s. Not sure what all they did different, but the sights are higher so you can see them over the can.

My understanding is a lot of semi auto pistols just don't run right with suppressors.

Here is an article that tested some suppressor ready 1911s. Half didn't work right.
