Another 1911 question.

I know the difference between "Series 70" and "Series 80" but I came across a pistol being advertised as a "Series 90".
What the heck does "Series 90" mean?
 
Isn't that the new doofer with the "Ergonomic" grip? I sorta lost interest in Colts after the advent of the collet-bushing...

Rant mode on: When folks go to re-inventing the wheel, fixing what ain't broke, violating the KISS principle and finding solutions in search of problems, mine eyes glazeth over and I get a severe attack of boredom. Even "This is neat!" promo articles in the gun rags leave me cold...

So collet bushings, magazine disconnects, ergonomic "handles" and all that give me a gigantic attack of the "So, what?"-itis. That comes with being an old fart, of course.

Ranting is fun! :)

Rant mode off--for a while.

Y'all be good, Art
 
The series 90 refers to the 1991-A1 and the Defender, etc. I have NO idea why the designation changed since there was no major redesign - only cosmetic differences.
