Sounds like it had a failure to fire problem and the hammer spring was replaced with a heavier spring. heavy hammer springs can delay the slide opening but also wear grooves in the slide. if the grooves are deep enough the hammer wont be forced back and down enough to re-cock. does it cock by hand?
