Assuming they're all TM, of course.

From most to least:
MEU, 1911A1, Hi-Capa 5.1, Hi-Capa 4.3.
This answer is theory based, factoring in the weight of the moving assemblies. It's pretty simple, the heavier the moving weight, the greater the kinetic energy required to move and be carried by the assembly.
The 1911's have a heavier spring plug plus barrel bushing combo. Because of these, they tend to have heavier kick than the Hi-Capas which do not have a metal barrel bushing, and also have a hollowed spring guide BUSHING rather than a plug.
Further, the differences between the single stacks, is simply because the MEU has the metal NOVAK open sight, whereas the 1911 just has the plastic rear sight. Again, the greater weight will make the MEU kick harder.
Same goes for the Hi-Capas... the longer slide of the 5.1 creates greater moving weight in the slide as well as the longer recoil rod bushing. Also, the 5.1 rear sight is larger than the 4.3 rear sight.
This answer does not factor in gas capacities or any other upgrades.

The 5.1... in stock form.

I have tried adjusting it in tiny tiny increments, but I can't seem to get it to work.
Any suggestions?

I haven't seen this issue before. I'd need it in front of me to diagnose and solve the problem.

This is not normal. You'll need to have it looked at, as I do not have a solution for you based on your description.
The only thing that I can think of, is that this only happens when the hammer is half-cocked. The solution, would obviously be to fully cock the hammer.
