Sounds like mag springs to me.
Would try replacing the springs.

Now have three 1911s.

I believe around here we call that "a good start". :-)

Ha! Yes, I believe you are correct!

Well, guess I’m going to need to quit this forum, it’s too expensive. After all this talk about 1911’s, I got the bug, again.
Went browsing for 1911s. Found a used Wilson Combat CQB, almost new.
Always wanted a WC, just were to expensive.
Found what I think was a very good deal at Cabelas of all places, called the wife, she said that I work hard and deserved it, so I bought it. Got home, stripped it, could not find much if any carbon / powder residue. Not sure if it has ever been shot except at the factory or very little at all by the original owner ( original bill of sale was in the soft case with all the papers, extras).
Now have a Springfield Mil-spec, a Ruger SR1911 Commander and now a Wilson CQB 5”.
The Wilson will be used at action matches. Will not be a safe queen.
Now have three 1911s.
Always kinda wanted an Officers 1911, Hmmm.
