Geez! You just spent $200 on a towing fee and I'm about to give you advice on spending money on M1911 parts.

Tuning 1911's with barrels shorter than 4 inches takes work and parts. The erratic ejection is usually a result of an extractor that is turning, we call it "clocking", slightly within the tunnel. The fix is a fitted firing pin stop. If you are going to fit a firing pin stop, might as well get a flat bottom stop from EGW (Evolution Gun Works) as that will delay breech unlocking and slow the recoil of the slide better than any recoil spring weight.

You might also want to get a spring steel extractor as they hold tension longer than cast or billet steel extractors. With these parts, plus recoil springs and even main springs, you can tune most 1911 style pistols for reliable extraction and feeding.

You probably should replace the magazine springs too, maybe go with Wolff 5% extra power springs, assuming the magazine bodies have adequate stiffness. To be honest, I think Colt, MecGar, Tripp, and even Metalform are better magazines than Triple K or ProMag.
