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.

Well, the infinite possibility for "limp wrist" jokes aside, yes, this is the first hi-cap .45 I've ever owned. I've always had a pretty stable shooting platform, though I'm not a beefy guy, I'm pretty strong. I'll explore some of my hand positions this weekend, but I still think the predominant problem is with the cleaning solution or the weapon itself. (I know, right, always the tool not the user).
I'll see what happens. Thanks!
Scotty
