I have a Full size SS Springfield 1911 Loaded 9mm.
Quite often when I fire, the slide return will return forward only to stop about 3/16 short before it is in full battery. At a recent trip to the range, it did this several times per mag.
When I work the slide manually, it generally goes into battery fine, EXCEPT if I only pull the slide back a short distance and then move it forward, or release it forward it will stop 3/16 short. With some force I can push it through and it acts as if there is metal on metal catching then it releases and snaps into full battery. It will do this with or without magazines.
What is the issue? How to remedy?
