" have your feed ramp throated and polished. That should cure your feeding problems.."
If you can find a good 1911 gunsmith, that should do it.
I agree that you seem to have an issue with the shape of the front of the bullets you're using & your barrel.
Shortening the OAL may help, as you tried..but as mentioned, can cause other problems.
A good throat polishing ( & make a little altering) would solve your issues.
options are to switch bullets to a different shape (ogive) or have barrel throated to reliably feed the bullets you are using
I too have a DW Guardian in 9mm, have not had the issue you mentioned.
I shoot only my hand loads, using cast, polymer coated, FMJ's, & JHP's w/o any issues.
