Yep, Something that helps also to do occasionally is this: in a safe place, while keeping your finger OFF the trigger, dry cycle a couple of magazines through your pistol until all the loaded rounds have hit the carpet, so to speak. Troublesome mags, ammo, or gun parts will sometimes manifest that way too.
Unless you're looking for a slam fire, be sure to do this with snap caps only! NEVER "play" with live rounds. Besides, all you'll end up doing is chewing up the case rims unnecessarily and possibly causing bullet set back. All it takes is that 1911 with a slightly out of spec sear to put a nice hole(s) exactly where you don't want one.
And, by using snap caps while "dry cycling", you can safely practice trigger control when dry firing each DUMMY/SNAP CAP "round".
