Well, I imagine it has a lot to do with the fact that most modern handguns coming out today have frames made of polymer, which can be black or tan or most other colors, but not shiny silver.

As far as the SIG P226 goes, I think there were issues with the strength of the frame on the all-silver model, or so I've heard.
