You are not the only one to have problems with the Sig 1911's. From what I have read in several places, Sig actually had to go back to the drawing board after the first run of their 1911's as they were seriously plagued with problems.
That was awhile ago. Their 1911's run very well now. I'm very happy with mine.

Jason, if I'm looking at the right model, yours is a lightweight Officer's frame? If that's the case, the problem could be technique. Small aluminum frame 1911's pretty much demand a death grip, and anything less can cause your exact problem. I had a lightweight Commander that would fail to chamber the last round every time if I didn't grip it like a .44 Magnum.

I do second the recommendation for using Wilson magazines. The included Sig magazines worked fine for me, but I use the Wilsons with everything by default.
