From time to time I see 1911's with the front of the slide cut in the Browning Hi Power style. I really like the look of it, especially on commander's. My question to all is, are there any negative effects of the lighter slide?

I'm thinking that in max effort loads the lighter slide may allow the barrel and slide to unlock to soon with possible case rupture as the end result. Less weight on the muzzle would also allow more muzzle flip.

With minor PF loads the lighter slide would cycle faster and softer possibly getting the muzzle back on target sooner. It looks neat!!!
Maybe 1911TUNER could chime in on this, any thoughts guys?
