Oh Jeff, that post made my smile, really it did - and no, I don't deny a single point you made.
I don't mean to troll, but haters gonna hate, bronies gonna love and tolerate!
On topic though, I did learn an interesting historical point about clear 1911 pistol grips

Evidently, US marines would carve 1911 grips from the plexiglass of downed aircraft during WW2 and put pictures of their wives/girlfriends under them... Now THAT is cool.
I'm surprised its not a bigger fad today. I bought 2 sets. Maybe I'll make a 1911 grip with a Glock decal, in addition to a full set of the Mane6.
The pony 1911s will probably be for my Youth Program... It gets a laugh when I take guys from work out and I holster my 1911 with Punisher Grips... It kind of freaks out young kids when I do the same when I'm giving them a safety briefing.
