i am having trouble cycling my 1911 with a storm lake barrel and fusion slide. When I try to rack the slide, it will move back about 1/8th of an inch and then it will lock and won't budge. I use a rubber mallet to get the slide back into battery.
However, when the slide is in battery, I can push down on the barrel hood and rack the slide and it goes back fine. I've tried using dykem to see if it is binding anywhere but couldn't see anything.
I've searched online and have tried most of the suggestions to no avail. I am hoping for more ideas before taking it to a gunsmith. Thanks.
