I own a Kimber Stainless 1911 full size and experienced the occasional jamming that it sounds like you are experiencing.
The jamming in my gun was at the point of feeding the round into the chamber after firing. The round would always hang up on the edge of the chamber with the tip of the bullet up at a 10 degree angle and the shell still in the opening of the mag. This would be a common problem when I tried using the gun with cheap mags and re-loads. Kimber mags and cheaper range ammo like Wolf are no problem at all and I have eliminated jams completely by ditching the cheap mags and use of re-loads. I surmised that the very minor differences in the length of the rounds and the sloppy mags caused my issues. The Kimber is definitely one of the tighter guns I have owned and really responds to being maintained well. It is not a lazy mans gun by any means. The tight tolerances makes the gun very accurate as I can shoot at further yardages and still be reasonably accurate compared to other comparable handguns in .45acp.
