Yes they can. Some revolvers have firing pins that get bent or dirty.

In addition, bad ammunition can leave a bullet stuck in the barrel, or a cartridge can bind the cylinder, keeping it from turning.

Often because the ejecting shell is not thrown out fast enough and becomes stuck in the breech, causing a jam. Others are similar, such as a new cartridge in the magazine well getting stuck the same way.

Absolutely. Any gun is a device that has working parts and therefore has the potential to jam. The typical reasons a Colt 45 would jam would be a broken bolt, broken sear and bolt spring, base pin not properly engaged, etc.

Regular care for your firearm will decrease the likelihood of jamming.
