Well, I figured it out. Look at the first pic of the closed end of the spring. The last coil and a half are non-concentric. When the slide is forced back all the way to the rear, the high edge of the spring would be wedged between the slide and the guide rod, locking the slide in place. When I turned the spring around, the high edge was contained in the recoil plug, thus no problem.
I bent the last coil and a half and the spring now slides on and off with no problems and I can't get the slide to stick anymore. I'll try to get to the range tomorrow and see if that fixed it.

Did you clean and lube it before taking it out to shoot?
Yes...
Not sure if this was just a plug for your favorite guide rod, but the spring was getting hung at the base of the guide rod. Any length guide rod would have this same problem using the defective spring.
Yes, I agree with this almost 100%. One deviation from JMB that I tend to like is the upswept beavertail. The FLGR is a fix to a problem that never existed.
