Jam the mag into the well and pull back on the slide with all your force and let it fly forward.
How does it work now?
You are what they call "riding the action" Sir.
Solution? Don't do it

A lot of the 1911 issues come from the mags. The factory norinco mags happens to be crap in my experience; I recommend you purchase some quality mags. Look for mags from Wilson combat, Tripp research or Chip McCormick. ACT/DLASK mags are also a good deal for the money.
Pull the slide back and release. Let the recoil spring do its job. Does the bullet still get "stuck"?
When chambering a round, never ride the slide close.
Remove the barrel, take the round and drop it into the barrel's chamber. Does it seat all the way in cleanly or does it not seat fully? Are these reloads or factory ammo?
I've had some reloads not chamber fully in some tight chambers and I've had to run them through a Factory Crimp die where the carbine ring sizes out any possible case bulge that the regular FL dies don't.

uhhhh the slide will be travelling quite fast when you are shooting.
Sounds like you haven't even shot the gun yet, and you are playing with live rounds in your living room son!
When the 1911 strips a round from the mag, the rim slides up under the extractor, the extractor is a spring and has tension on it, this takes some force to overcome. Baby-ing the slide closed will cause the problem you are seeing, this is not the way the firearm is meant to function, it is meant to use the force of the recoil spring and weight of the slide to strip and load a round. Stop playing around with it until you get to the range, load and shoot it PROPERLY and you won't have an issue.
Are you using the Norc ammo? I've found that some of the 45acp rounds were gritty and some even corroded a bit. It will sometimes cause an occasional feeding problem, even in my STI 1911's. I just give the casings a wipe and they feed fine afterwords. Also, that Norinco ammo is great, but pretty dirty. After 200 rounds, the chamber can get pretty dirty and can sometimes give you a similar feeding problem.
But what has been said in prior posts is 100% correct. You want to "slingshot" that slide to get a consistent feed. My Norc 1911's and STI's are well broken in now, but if I did ease the slide in, I'm sure I would have a similar feed problem.

The NORC has a fairly short chamber throat. Are you using reloaded ammo? Or factory jacketed ammo?
If reloads, try seating the bullets a bit deeper.
When the slide hangs up, extract the cartridge and examine it for marks to show you what was binding.

I found on my Remington 1911 that the extractor wasn't grabbing the casing, so it would get half way and then the next bullet in the mag will jam it before it has a chance to eject. How many rounds have you fired with it? I would pull it apart and clean the eXtractor. Or increase tension, there's YouTube videos to show you tricks of checking and adjusting the extractor.
Best of luck, cheers.

See above.
from what I read I don't think he admitted trying to load the pistol at home he just stated he released the slide slowley and as others said and were fully correct that's a bad practice. and as someone else said it could be the mags. which could be true . and if so the bullets are doing a nose dive and hanging up on the feed ramp .
or he could be useing hollowpoint or soft point ammo and it might not want to chamber these rounds. or he might not have cleaned the pistol and lubed it properly and if it's full of grease it won't work either. not very well anyways. make sure you have taken the pistol apart and check to see if it has any packing grease in it then put a little oil on the rails and pick up a decent mag if you only have the Norinco mags and use round nose ball ammo and see how it functions then .
Let the slide go . do not let it go slowley . good luck .

Had the exact same issue with my 1st norinco, turns out the ammo just didn't fit in the chamber like the pic above on the right.
I ran the ammo through a resizing die and that corrected most of the issues
