All of the above, plus.I would check the case to see if there are any marks on it, could help point you in the right direction. Check how much bullet is sticking out of the case, compare to another bullet. Sometimes a bullet can move in the case (set back from chambering, walking out of case due to recoil) either one can cause dangerous pressure problems.

If you're referring to extraction and ejection of a loaded rounds, many 1911s will not "eject" a loaded round. They are not designed to do that. The ejection port will allow an empty case to pivot and go through, but not a cartridge. Colt modified their ports years ago to address this. Now some 1911s will happily eject loaded rounds but many will choke. (depending on the length of the round) This is kind of a drag but it is normal. If the gun will feed fire and eject empties it is fine. When unloading remove the magazine and let the round fall out through the magwell. Trying to modify it to eject loaded rounds will lead to other problems. And definitely inspect your ammo for bullet setback if you are unloading and reloading the same round. Setback can cause very bad things to happen.

Hadn't thought of this, but will surely try it next time.

Just make sure it doesn't fall down the heat register.
