I still fires 2 shots on one trigger pull, and the slide wont blowback all the way sometimes, sometimes it will fire in bursts, and sometimes all the gas will come out as soon as I instert the mag into the gun. There's just no fixing it.

Sounds like a pressure problem to me. The fact it's firing auto like that... it's not disconnecting. Basically slam firing. Somethings up with the slide not going back far enough, like when you're running low on gas, except you aren't low on gas so it fires a burst.

Maybe a seal's blown in the blowback mechanism, or it wasn't reassembled just quite right when you put on the new slide... but either way 1911s are nice simple designs, I find it hard to believe no one was able to figure out the problem.
