UPDATE: problem solved!

My EDC is a full size Citadel 1911, which has always performed flawlessly.
Yesterday I went to unload it for cleaning and some dry-fire practice. I did the standard drill: dropped the magazine, safe direction, finger off trigger, safety off, rack the slide to eject the chambered round...
Nope. Won't budge. It's not spring resistance, either: it's mechanically locked up and won't budge. I carefully lowered the hammer and tried it that way. No go. Re-cocked it, cycled the safety several times, no change.
Help!
