You can also increase the mainspring's poundage to add more resistance to the slide's initial motion. This doesn't seem to be really necessary on the 3rd Gen's but is on the 1911 setup for 45 Super.
I upped my 1911's to 28# from the factory 23#. (My Colt 1911 Govt. Series 70 barrel/slide weigh 16.7oz while the 4506 slide weighs 18.7oz.)
