Today I noticed on misfires the hammer is not going all the way forward. It stops before hitting firing pin.
Help!!!
Neil Someone has messed with the fire control group who didn't know what he was doing. Take it to someone who knows what they're doing. If you can't diagnose the problem yourself, I strongly recommend against you trying to "fix" it. Just pay up and get it fixed right.

I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

I have several friends with Remington 1911s...no complaints at all... I have one. It's never even so much as jammed

Neil That is why I asked if you have messed with the overtravel screw in the trigger... If it is out of adjustment the trigger won't let sear clear the notches on the hammer and will do just what you described. There should be a small Allen wrench with the gun and if there is back the screw out and see if that changes things... Bob

Also to make things clear...
The spring that is under the barrel in the slide is the "RECOIL" spring.
The spring that powers the hammer and also controls the unlocking of the slide is the "MAIN" spring and it is in the mainspring housing on the frame...
It sounds like you replaced the 18# standard .45 recoil spring for a 21# to try and get the slide to lock up...should not be necessary.
If you can not deal with reality, reality will deal with you....
