Take out mag.
Remove everything you can without breaking it.
On a 1911 that means you can also remove the hammer spring and frame safety, along with the leaf spring.

Put gun in a large plastic container.
Pour hot water on it (as hot as you can have your hands in).
Wiggle the gun in the water for 5 minutes.
Try to rack the slide/move the controls.

The heat will make the slide expand, so if there is something stuck in the gun, it will let it loose.

Don't forget to completely disassemble the gun, dry everything and lube everything with silicon oil RIGHT AWAY. Otherwise everything will rust.
