I've had two nationally known gunsmiths who made a living out of building 1911s tell me flat out that releasing the slide on an empty chamber is potentially damaging to the firearm.
Mac Scott, and one working for the USAMTU building guns for Army shooters. At least I think he was Army. It's been many years.
I'll take their word for it over your impressions.
Ultimately, though, if someone one wants to be that much of a brain dead imbecile that they would abuse an expensive piece of equipment in such an obviously preventable fashion, who am I to tell them that they're being a retard?
