Sounds like you're not lubricating it enough. Skip running a lighter spring, it should function with the stock spring unless you're running bunnyfart target loads (aka handloads with a light powder charge).

I'm also going to suggest you send it in with a full description of everything that's going on. Let the pros handle it, I'm not quite confident you know enough about the platform to be doing much with it other than cleaning and lubricating it. Not an insult, just an observation. As someone that runs both 1911's and Glocks, I can say there's a world of difference between the two. The Glocks will run dry, but the 1911s? Not so much.
