It sounds like you are new to the 1911 platform & the problems your having could be the result of that. Judging from the pics, the gun is dry & needs oil. Lack of lube is the number 1 problem I see everyday!
It could cause the FTE (as can limp wristing)another common problem with new 1911 owners. Slide not locking back could be the mags (does it happen with all mags) or it could be as simple as your thumb hitting the slide stop. I would replace the recoil spring with a know spring 17 - 18 lb.,oil the heck out of it & try again.
I own quite a few 1911's & deal with them everyday at work & most problems are usually an easy fix you just need to understand the platform!
