what is causing brass to be jammed into slide on ejection port side crushing brass on ejection and not cycling?

What ammo are you using?  By that I mean is it a high impulse ammo like Underwood? Slide speeds too fast...

Could your extractor be an issue?  Is it dirty?  What if it is not correctly set or is bent, it can hold the casing too tight for too long during the ejection cycle.

Then there is the ejector it self, that could be bent, broken where it doesn't kick the casing off and out from under the extractor.

All areas to look at for issues!  ???

i think ur right it could be the slide cycling to fast, sometimes the extractor takes a chunk out of the base, been using dtap,b-bore and blazer ammo but on all high end ammo

The 1911 styles may take some tuning to get things running...study the use of Flat bottom firing pin stops, also recoil springs and in some instances mainsprings.  All of these can help with the slide speeds and return to battery.  ???
