the 1911 is an extremely tough, battle proven pistol and I don't baby mine at all.
that being said dropping the slide using the slide stop has rounded the slide stop and slide stop notch on my Colt. this sometimes keeps the slide from locking back on an empty mag which in a gun fight ain't the best thing. it also causes the slide to drop if I insert a new mag hard enough. that can be a big safety issue.
