Well, I found it. I had posted earlier asking what ultimately stops rearward slide travel and prevents spring stacking.
I can now see that the slide would hit the first "U" section in the frame, looking front the front of the gun with the slide off.
If you look at the very first picture in this thread you can see some shiny (sort of) impact impressions on that section.
If I'm wrong please let me know.
