I don't know, their alloy frame might not be strong enough for some people's liking.

Why the thumb safety that gets in the way?...

The .mil folk apparently like the thumb safety as it reduces accidental discharges when holstering, as a backup for a trigger snag on a body covered and overburdened in gear. I'm still a fan of 1911s and thumb safeties are no trouble.
