but I just came back from shooting the SW1911 today and it reminded me about this posting some time back. Short version: I'm a happy camper now - gun now performs as expected.

I think it was a combination of several suggestions from you guys but mainly the oil thing. BTW, I have no proof that REM Oil was ever used on the gun - its just what I thought perhaps the original owner might have used. I did take off the Tetra gun grease and replaced it with synthetic Mobil 1 - I do believe I was running a dry gun. The Mobile 1 thing was picked up from the 1911 Forum and it has worked great. The other aspect a couple of you guys mentioned was the gun needing a "break in" period (& perhaps me, too). I'm at the 250 round mark and not experiencing the problem I had during the first 40 to 50 rounds. I did step up the quality of ammo I was using but today, I went back to the PMC ammo I had first used and the gun handles it without any problems (now).
So I owe you guys a: THANK YOU. Appreciate all the suggestions & they worked!
