The slight timing issue that chews up the firing pin and plunger isn't too uncommon. The 'N' marked lifter used in the Colt Gold Cup models provides the highest lift and usually solves the issue. You can pick one up at Midway or Brownells. Pick up a new plunger and firing pin too while you're there.
More than a few good posts on this over on the 1911forum. I had some nice picks up showing the difference between a 1 marked lever and the N marked part, but lost them in the photobucket purge.
I believe the Cylinder and Slide trigger pull reduction kit which uses coated S80 safety parts includes the N lever.
