Do you modify your carry weapon

[kwando]

For a carry weapon, do you make any modifications/upgrades/etc that are not stock?

Like triggers, lightened springs, connectors, etc or do you leave it stock??

Stainless steel guide rod instead of that plastic shit in the P229 and SP2022.

Summer P938 is going to have to get a stainless trigger replacement and Wolf main spring. Great gun but the trigger is the suck.

Stock internals with some fluff n buff on the contact points. There will be some debate regarding the "legalities" if involved in a self defense scenario. I carry what my comfort level is.

Sights, grips, guide rods, yes.

I have resisted modifying anything having to do with trigger or trigger pull to this point.

Yea that's my point for this thread. I do the $.25 glock trigger job that's about it internal wise.

Then grip force and night sights for external.

On 1911 and glocks I change the trigger to my liking. I'm not worried about some suite judging my gun being "more" dangerous. The only time I could see it being a concern is in a AD/ND or if you miss what you are aiming at.

The problem being, that if there's even the slightest doubt that a defensive shooting is completely justified, you're likely to end up in civil court, facing a lawyer who's job it is to make you look like a maniacal vigilante that was just itching to gun down some poor, misled, disadvantaged urban 'ute, with your hair trigger, extra deadly factory of destruction.

Switching an SAO trigger from a 10# pull to a usual and customary 4.5# pull (most are that or less from the factory) is not an issue for me personally.

Don't worry about it all you want but it will become a point of any prosecution. I haven't touched any of the internals on my carry gun, not because of the potential for legal issues but for the fact that I haven't seen a need to.

Then make sure you don't carry hollow points those are designed to do nothing but kill people. Make sure your pocket knife is dull too if you sharpen it you would have changed it to be more effective for killing.

I understand your point and I agree the law dogs will be all over how your a crazed killer. I'm going to set my guns up how the work for me. If I'm more accurate with a lighter trigger than that's what I will do.
