I missed that it happened with both mags. Something is definitely wrong if you can't go more than 500 rounds with two FTFeeds, using known good ammo and mags. Cleaning should not be the issue.
Doesn't look to me like fouling was really the issue, as much as a simple lack of lubrication. 1911s don't need to be kept particularly clean; however, they do need to be kept wet.

Well, I don't know that I would call ga arms reloads known good ammo. That being said, this was during the end of a dry break-in so that's why I am not convinced it wasn't related to the gun's condition. Especially given the fact it went 11 full loaded mags and 6 mags with 2 rounds each after I cleaned and lubed it. But we shall see.

Greg, I asked but you didn't answer, did you happen measure the tolerances of the the gun's major fitted components? I'm asking from the angle of is that gun built with accuracy in mind, with tighter tolerances. Or if tolerances were looser to encourage reliability? Am I off my rocker believing the adage that tighter guns equal better accuracy and less reliability?
Anyway, just throwing tennis balls at the wall.
Thanks for the update.
Sorry. Nah, I didn't break out the old micrometer. In fact, today is the first time I have seen the inside of it.

A CQB is a pretty 'tight' pistol, but I've never seen a so called tight 1911 not run because it was tight. 99% of problems are extractor/magazine related. An improperly fit/timed barrel can be problematic, but a properly hard fit barrel will run like a Swiss watch dirty or clean.
I think the OP should put a little light grease on the lugs and disco head and slather the rest with a some good oil and try again. 'Breaking it in' dry or squirting Remoil on the gun is just not gonna cut it.
Curious numbering system on the WC magazines, is this a new feature on the WC magazines? Is it on the new ETM magazines? Sure beats using a paint pen over and over again.
Again, and not to be overly-persistent about this, a Wilson Combat 1911 is neither too tight, nor too loose, nor too anything else. You cannot expect any 1911 (and most especially a new one) to perform effectively if you try to run it dry. It is just one of the idiocyncracies of the gun.
