George,
I have a Springfield Armory 1911A1 that the slide will not lock back on the last round. If I cycle it by hand with an empty mag inserted it locks back every time. The magazines I have fired it with are McCormick Shooting Stars and one Springfield Armory mag with a McCormick follower installed. All mags have brand new Wolff Springs (5%). The recoil spring is an 18.5# Wolff Spring with about 900 rounds of use. This gun has always worked fine but as of late and tonight (I just got back from the range) that last round will not lock back no matter what I do. Is my slide stop worn out? It is the factory piece. The gun probably has about 2300 rounds through it since new. Help! Thanks!!
