Yup. Go to 1911forum.com and do a search. Instructions complete with illustrations

Basically taking the barrel out of your pistol, dropping a round in. If you hear a "plunk" and the case rim is even with the barrel hood, the round is fine and not hitting the lands, and will feed in the chamber

What's your round count so far on that pistol?

It may just need breaking in. I had that with my Sig Fastback, but not as bad. First trip to the range was flawless, then I had some failures to go into battery on the second trip. The rear slide engagement was so tight that a small amount of powder fouling was all it took to keep it from going all the way forward. I could detect some resistance to going into battery even on an empty chamber. Just needed firing more and to be run clean and wet for a while.

See ... a 1911 in 9x19 has too damn many 9's & 1's

All kidding aside, while it's a PITA at least you have a lifetime warranty behind the gun!

I've got about 200-250 rnds through it. I squirted a bit of oil on the rails when it started but nothing came of it. I keep going back to how much of a PITA it was to load the mags. Just don't know if it was me or the mags Time will tell...
