Wife took my favorite 1911, so I got a new one!

Here is a good real on 1911 magazines, it's about 10 years old, but still a good read: http://how-i-did-it.org/magazines/

I use Checkmates, Kimber Pro's, and Wilsons at the range, and carry Tripp Cobra's.

I have an old Ed Brown that I've had for 20 years of so, always ate everything I ever fed it. Until about two weeks ago, got a box of ball ammo the would jam on the first round, every magazine. I found the OAL was too long, and my recoil spring had been in service longer than it should have been. I shot the ammo in my PM45 to finish out the box, and replaced my recoil spring. Now no worries.
Point being, might be bad ammo causing your issues.

Thanks for the link! I will defiinitely read the article. Yes, my first attempt at resolution will be to take her back for another range session with 2 or 3 kinds of ammo. Then switch mags (2 from the Colt and one Wisons I had hung onto). I figure it won’t hurt to run some more ammo too as the Springer was not very used when I got it. Need to break her in!
