I'm not sick of the variety, but I guess I do get a little sick of - basically -cosmetic changes being treated like major innovations.
Then again, if you "innovated" too much, it wouldn't be a 1911 any more.

They have to publish stories about something though, and a picture of a pretty gun on the front cover sells more copies than a picture of a bottle of innovative CLP, or a innovatively manufactured spring.
When I need real information I come here.
