The better question would be why do they not match the back serrations?
Match the serrations to the front the best you can. Loose the fugly grips and get some pachmyer wrap around ones, not the ones with the finger groves but the other. Cary it and shoot the hell out of it, its a usable gun now.

Dump the sights for some slick Novacs and it'll look a little better. WHile you're at it, get rid of the slide and do it right so the front matches the rear serrations, round the bottom of the ass end a little more and put some black grips on it.
I'm sure it'll shoot just fine, but it ain't no BBQ Gun
+1 for really tearing up the slide on a perfectly good 1911 also +1 for sharing your mistakes. It takes a big man to do that. I try hard to hide most of mine.
The slide is salvagable. Blow the front serations off completely and go for the Hi Power look. Pic commandeered/linked from another board so you can see what I mean.
Do the high power look man, dont trash the slide. I agree with Shane45. My Colt XSE came with front cocking serrations. I thought I would like them but I dont. If I end up sending it off for anything else, it will be to carry melt the corners, stipple the front strap (although the skateboard tape does fine), and take the front serrations off with the high power look.
just my .02
