So I have a 1911a1 from rock island.  Around 1500 flawless rounds. Only issues were traced to a bad mag. Out at the range the other day and it starts locking back on full mags.  Trying different mags and ammo and it still happens every once in a while. Couldn't make it through a full mag without it locking back.  Also had my first stove pipe during this session.   Shooting ball ammo white box, s&b, and some other factory brass. Mags where a mix of Cmc, Wilson and some others. Gun was cleaned and lubed. Any ideas.  I'm lost.  I really don't know where to start.

like the slide release catches or it just locks up?

Start with a new recoil spring.

Could also be that you are pushing the slide catch every now and then with your thumb. Check your grip.

Run a few mags left handed using only one hand to shoot if the issue goes away you know you are inadvertently hitting the slide stop

These are all good ideas.  And yes it locking back to the
Mag catch.  Thank you
