Two things for your pistol:

Buy some Wilson Combat mags, sometimes just switching mags up makes the difference and as far as I know wilsons are top of the line.

You may need to tune your extractor. The problem you describe (A failure to return to battery) sounds (partly) like a common extractor problem.

Here is a fantastic resource for your 1911 needs: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthrea...roubleshooting

It is a reasonably comprehensive guide to the common problems w/ 1911 type pistols and their solutions.

For extractor specific info check out: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthrea...Return+Battery
