Thanks for the advice; I'll disassemble and try the above suggestions. I think having a Glock for so long just has me spoiled...and I'm just not that familar with the way a 1911 truly works.
I have a RIA 1911 and I'm suddenly having trouble with the slide fully going forward. It's almost like the barrel is not slipping into place causing the slide to not fully settle into the foward position. I'm fairly 1911 ignorant so this is the only way I know to explain. I can manually push it...
