I have a new 1911 (44 acp) with a 14 lb variable power recoil spring. The overall fit of this pistol is tight & way more accurate than I. I ran a box of factory 230 RN FMJ through it, twice the slide stopped 1/8" short of fully closing after ejecting spent brass and pushing another round into the chamber. With my reloads this happened about every 8th round. I then tried dropping 100 rounds into the chamber, all plunked and almost all fell out when I inverted the barrel. On the few that didn't drop out I dropped a bamboo skewer down the muzzle and they fell out. Fired those rounds and same issue. When the slide stops short I can lightly tap it with the ball of my thumb and it closed fully. Some of the more experienced shooter I know say this problem will clear up after the pistol breaks in.
I'm wondering if a non-variable power spring would help in the mean time. Here's a pic or two
