Erik:
It has been my experience; the alloy frames donot fair as well as steel. Having built several 1911's on the light frames, their durability is considerably less than steel.
When using the heavier loads they become more precarious. Cracked receivers, damaged rails are quite common, accuracy deriates quite quickly, especially in a training enviornment. And as the others have stated, tgt accusition is harder to maintain during recoil.
