The weakest portion of the slide is the hole where the front sight mounts. It seems as though the slide banging back and forth causes a lot of stress on that area. The front of the slide is the only portion that is physically held onto the gun. I know this to be true since the back of the slide is what flew off. The break that you see occured while shooting, not something that grew over time. As I've posted others have experienced the exact same issue. The break is occurring in the exact same place.
As for whether the slide was impacting the suppressor, I don't believe so. I haven't noticed any damage on the front of the slide that would say otherwise.
