I've posted this on another forum, so if you're seeing it again then I apologize.
I just picked up a S&W 1911 for a great price that came with a Clark Custom .460 Rowland barrel. I had an unused Kart E-Z fit barrel laying around so I decided to fit it to the S&W.
Everything was going perfectly. The bushing was just tight enough that it required a bushing wrench but not enough that I had to crank on it. The barrel itself was slowly getting closer to fully locking up, and when it did it was locked up tighter than Fort Knox. There's just one problem.
Right before lockup the slide stops and requires me to push on it with my finger to lock it up. To unlock it I have to yank on it hard in order for it to unlock. I've put some dye on the lugs and there is full contact on them.
Got any ideas on what's hanging the pistol up?
Here's the point where the slide stops and has to be pushed closed:
