The competitive point of the front serrations is a nice quick'neasy slide operation while maintining a firing grip with the strong hand. I've seen it done a lot, though I don't use it. It's a user preference to go weak hand under the dust cover, grab the slide, and chamber OR clear OR show clear OR press-check during various types of administrative gunhandling.
It's a competitive games thing that some also like to use on their carry guns. Just a preference that some used to pay for and the marketing gurus said would help sell the newer models better to the high-volume users.
I must admit that the movements come more naturally and are easier to watch than the slingshot method, but the security of the little old weakhand thumb and two fingers at that angle _is_ less than the slingshot grip. Maybe it's all that nailgun loading that makes it seem natural to me...
