FTF = Failure to Feed,

ok, so i just purchased a para gi expert last week and took it to the range on saturday. now i know 1911's need to be broken in, but i dont think thats the problem. the problem is i didnt fire 1 mag the whole time i was there that didnt have at least 2 FTF's, the round would get stuck a 1/4 way into the chamber. but my buddy who has had a few 1911's went through 3 mags perfectly fine, which makes me think its me. he thought it might be a mag problem. my grip on it is pretty firm and i'm not limp wristing it at all i dont think. i have no clue what im doing wrong. i have fired his springfield numerous times fine, but i have only owned a glock up to this point. any ideas what i could be doing wrong? the only thought i had was that my grip was too strong and i was impeading the recoil.
