Now, there's a certain amount of evidence that dropping the slide can ruin a good trigger job. If your 1911 has been tuned and fitted for competition,

Mines been tuned and fitted for combat, same trigger job they do for competition guns

Wouldn't carrying a Glock fix this problem?

I looked at some of the Glock forums, and it seems they all have this same discussion from time to time. It isn't slide damage, but the wear on the side stop that is an issue. Doing it a few times is fine, but don't do it all the time seems to be the consensus.

All of you pansies pants that are afraid to use the slide stop, look at it carefully it has a place for your finger to push it down, unless your 1911s are a bunch of SAFE QUEENS..............or have mim parts...................
