What on odd rant that goes on for quite along time about curbed grips.

Plenty of historical swords had curved grips: https://www.google.com/search?q=sword+curved+grip&tbm=isch. Even the ancients had discovered ergonomics.

Take a dueler from 300 years ago. Give him a pistol grip. Does this person have evidence that the pistol grip wouldn’t have actually improved matters for the dueler? Even when you’re not doing ahistorical flicks and depending on right-of-way rules, the pistol grip gives you a lot of control. Maybe the heaver sword would have negated the benefits of the grip, I’m not sure, but I don’t think Matt is either, having proudly never tried one.
