I'd be looking (and feeling) for signs of battering in the locking lug surfaces. Second guessing isn't always easy without examining it in person.
The battering of the radial lugs on the barrel and in the slide was my first thoughts on this also, along with this I would look for lower barrel lug seperation or stretching of the barrel link.

Again without having the gun in hand there's many things that can contribute to this, as was stated it's hard to diagnose everything without seeing the gun.

You might check to see if the slide stop is walking part way out of the gun or the barrel has a bulge in it.

Definitely check your radial lugs on the barrel and in your slide, if you see what appears to be metal shearing ( some call it flanging) you have major problems.
