Skinny Shooter, Usually a 1911 is broken in by 500 rounds. I would disassemble the pistol (take off the slide) and inspect the slide and frame for wear marks. If it feels like it is dragging when you operate the slide, there should be wear marks. As far as failure to go into battery; when you have it disassembled, make sure the chamber is clean, especially the front of the cartridge stop, and see if your ammunition falls into the chamber all of the way. If you are using reloads, you may have an ammunition problem. The other possibility is, if the gun has been worked on by a smith and a new barrel insstalled is that the hooks of the barrel are catching on the slide stop pin. You might take it to a person familiar with rebuilding the 1911 and have it checked over. Be sure to tell the smith what problems you are having.
