Hilton Yam has updated a superb thread about 1911 malfunctions over on the Modern Service Weapons forum. He discusses vertical stovepipes, horizontal stovepipes, feedway stoppages, high angle malfunctions, double feeds and failures to extract in conjunction with a magazine failure. It is well worth the read.
