It sounds like you have a case of tolerance salad.

Stock TM Hicapas are very consistently well performing, but once you start fitting a heap of aftermarket parts, you can get an awkward dance between TM and another manufacturers interpretation of TM engineering.

1-3: I agree with Illusions diagnosis of a dysfunctional blowback chamber, but if your slide lock is actually sticking up and locking the slide (issue 2) then I suspect that you are missing the detent spring, or other detent related parts, in the safety/slide lock on the left side of the gun.

Last issue: It sounds like you're either getting a light strike (hammer spring not stiff enough) or your firing pin lock is not locking the mag fire valve open and properly cycling your gun.
