Even though Series 80 is the most proven of the 1911 firing pin blocks, it still adds parts to the gun, and additional parts means less reliable function. The likelihood that a well-maintained 1911 will discharge if dropped is so close to zero, for a number of reasons, that compromising the gun's reliability for the hypothetical safety isn't a fair swap. That's the major reason people don't like it. I don't like it because it makes detail stripping a pain (actually, it's the reassembly that's a pain).
