Looks to me like the slide has been hammered against the frame. Like, the frame rails are just a tad too long.That front section that broke off looks like it was getting hammered pretty hard. Poorly fit barrel maybe?
Looks like 2 coils have been cut off recoil spring and frame was beating slide to death.
A1911 recoil spring should never be fully compressed!Looks like 2 coils have been cut off recoil spring and frame was beating slide to death.
A standard recoil spring is 33 coils so that fully compressed the slide will not contact the frame.
