Hal, the guys are right. Magazines are the biggest contributor to feeding malfunctions in the 1911. I don't think the heavier spring is the answer to your slide locking problem. It may force the gun to work, but unless you went to heavier loads you may also see other failures. Failures to eject in particular, hammer bounce could be another. Your slide stop needs a little attention. The nose of the bullet is hitting it as it rises and locking the slide. If you will look at the inside part of the stop you will probably see brass marks where it has come into contact with the bullet nose. Fill this back a little and try. Repeat until the bullet doesn't touch it anymore. George
