There are so many things can cause stoppages with the 1911 it’s amazing. Your grip and wrist, ammo, bullet shape, the magazine [big one] and of course the newness [tightness] or wear of the pistol. Even a new pistol is not immune to issues. Seat the bullet out too far, a tight chamber and a bulgy case, riding the slide with a high thumb, limp wristing it, a magazine that releases the round too soon or too late for that particular pistol‘s recoil spring etc. My last 1911 that I bought was an older 1990’s AO that I’ve used in a couple WB and BAM matches with no issues. Prior to that I bought a beautiful Rock Island nickeled 1911 sold through Cimarron that has given me no trouble. I did replace the yucky aftermarket slide stop, thumb safety and skinny hammer with blued checkered GI parts and buffalo horn grips. Might get another in blue. The op needs to ‘endeavor to persevere’.
