I may be jumping on this one a bit late, but Scotty, your new 1911 is a hi-cap.
Is this the first 1911 hi-cap you have ever owned? If so you may have a simple problem. You could just be limp wristing the pistol. We all know that 1911s are prone to jamming when limp wristed and the hi-cap varients are even more afflicted. When you go from shooting a regular to a hi-cap, most people who are frequent 1911 users don't think twice about their grip. It does however effect the pistol possibly leading to limp wristing, leading to the problem you desrcibed.
I had the same exact issue when I bought my first hi-cap 1911 (a Para-Ord TacFour LDA).
Check your grip out and that may solve your problem.
