FB post claims it’s a 10mm nighthawk 

Bbl looks in awful good shape for how bad the slide is

I guess anything is possible, BUT...... I've had a semi-auto blow on me once and all the

damage was on the other end, around the bolt, chamber and grip.

The metal interior edges look like aluminum or some casting. Also curious as to whats on the front sight.

Good friend, a gunshop owner,  went back and came out with a new pistol with front half of slide sheared into. It happened on first few shots. I don't remember brand or model.  Company replaced the gun.

A lot of companies have slides, locking blocks, sear housings, and frames made by Metal Injection Molding (MIM).

at 2.8-4K 1911 I dont want a MIM slide sorry if that's the brand it's claimed to be.

That looks like the markings that companies put on Tritium night sights.

Armscorp ammo? That is way less than full power 10mm loads..like 10mm light..180g at 1k fps.
