I can't give you a link but the Sringfield Armory owners manual is on line for the 1911-1A pistol.
Page 20 is devoted to "unloading." They have a big italicized paragraph that warns against slaming the slide home unassisted on an empty chamber with these pistols. That doesn't just mean extra fancy customized pistols, it means all of them.
