Hello I've got a Series 70 Colt Government Model in 9mm Luger made in 1976.I have not had very good luck with 1911 pistols especially Colts but this one has never failed and I mean never after several thousand rnds.I carried it for years and the only thing that I've replaced is the recoil spring.I also bought a solid bushing just in case the collet type broke.It will feed all types of hardball and Federal 9bp standard pressure 115 hollowpoints flawlessly.Have you thought about the recoil spring ,the old one and the new one I bought from Wolff are pretty weak.It's just a thought but if your recoil spring is too strong it might be causing some problems with your pistol.
