Sorry, mine is blow back and you are using a drop link. Wish I could be of
more assistance, good luck

Mine is toggle and lock up barrel 1911. 6" barrel in 38 spl. Load is 2.6 - 2.7 grns bullseye with a 148grn hollow based wadcutter ( normally hornady but I had some stars awhile back when I first built it). Mine is using a 6-7lb spring. Buy wulff springs in 5,6,7,8,9 lbs and start heavy working down to where it functions and feeds. These can be finicky pistols at times but once set up and working with a good load they run right along. Mine has a 6 lb spring in it. The blow back guns that dont use the locking lugs are supposedly 13-16 lb springs. ALot will depend on how tight the gun is fit together at the various places barrel to bushing, slide rails to frame hood to slide barrel to slide and barrel to frame.
Sorry to take so long, been in the middle of opening a new business and it has consumed me for a while. But its finished or at least the 1911 is, waiting on stock to finish mauser. From top to bottom 38spl mid range link pistol, Colt 22lr , Rock Island 45acp

I have several 5" 38 spl. 1911 pistols. Try a 11 lb recoil spring with 2.8 of BE and a 148 gr WC.
If this does not lock back on the last round lighten up the main spring.

Have only shoot for function and it will empty all 5 rds and hold slide back on all 3 mags I have
