I just installed a metal slide on my hicapa. It could be that your new slide is just not "broken in" yet. When I first got my slide on it was really tight and did the same thing as your explaining (after working it for a wile). To solve this I simply continued to work it in. I just racked the slide over and over and over again, making sure the slide went all the way back and all the way forward. After doing this for a wile (long wile) shes shooting great. I also made sure the slide was very well lubed during the break in and cleaned the gun after to get rid of the metal dust and excess lube.
If its not simply a problem of not being broken in an easy way to check if its binding on the outer barrel is to simply inspect the outer barrel for odvious signs of wear. If its holding the slide back its going to be leaving a mark.
Hope that helped
