Ok, so I had bought a used 1911 from my LGS. I took it apart ant put it back together, and everything seemed to work fine, except that the factory mag wasn't locking the slide back on empty every time. I don't know whether the slide stop was getting worn or if I screwed something up, but I followed the instructions exactly so I don't think so.
Anyway, I read on these forums that it could be a mag problem. So I went and ordered a couple of CMC powermags. I just got them today and looking at the magazines its clear that the protrusion meant to contact the slide stop is larger. Now it never fails to lock back!
I haven't gotten a chance to shoot out of them yet but so far I'm pretty happy with how these mags look, feel, and function on an empty gun. We'll see how it shoots but I expect it will be good.
