Default RE: $@%*^ 1911, What now???

I am not really worried about the limpwristing, I feel I have a pretty good lock when shooting and I have let two other guys shoot it and one of them did limpwrist it and the result was several stovepipes. Personnally, I have never had a stove pipe, just the occasional fail to completely chamber which I am now blaming on ammunition like I first suspected. I was originally shooting Win. FMJ which didn't seem to do to good, then swapped to their new WinClean BEB, those really shot terrible, I can personnally say that I would never recommend anyone shoot these as they left alot of brass residue and unfired powder all over the internals of my gun. Worse than any ammo I have ever shot. Then went through a period with I think it was PMC??? Blazer FMJ and had varied success and I just recently started shooting their Brass series FMJ and over the last 150 rounds I have not had one hang-up or fail to chamber. So I am really thinking all the feeding problems I have had are due to ammunition differences/tolerances.

Once again guys, I want to thank you for all your help, suggestions, recommendations and replies. I appreciate your help.
