The cosmetic changes, I assume meant to be racy and svelte, just don't make it at all. They should have just stuck with the stodgy "business-like" design. It matched the overall aesthetic of the gun.
If they wanted to change anything they should have brought back the red pad.
A 12 gauge Red Label was my first double. Although it was somewhat clubby, I liked it well enough and learned what I could with it. Back then (1990) I thought the fact that Tim Leary used a RL 20 ga was a fine endorsement. But I tired of it after I got my first s x s double, a Leonard-made Jeffery.
That doesn't change the fact that I wish I still had it.
