Both my 9FS and 9c had thumb safeties, but I removed them after one particular class showed me clearly that they'd slow me down in a life-or-death scenario. I removed the safeties from both and don't regret it (S&W sent me the plugs for free when I first purchased the pistols).
This may or may not be applicable to you, but make sure you train for real life scenarios and that the equipment responds the way you want. In my personal case, the safeties got in the way.
