As I was looking through the catalogs for yet another 1911 to purchase (doom on all of you for getting me hooked!), I noticed that virtually every full size 1911 out there has those forward serrations on the slide. I've not racked a slide with those forward serrations, and I'm sure it helps, but IMHO, they look hideous. I want ol' slabsides back! I'm usually a HUGE believer in function over form, but a 1911 is such a work of art by itself, it seems a shame to slice up that front end.
So, in your opinion, are those forward serrations on the slide a passing fad, or are they here to stay? Do you predict they will find their way onto other autoloader designs, or will they fall by the wayside like Fitz'ing a revolver by cutting off part of the trigger guard? Opinions wanted...
