Modifying your handgun is something almost every handgun owner decides to do. Many experts in the field of self defense and the legalities of doing so, recommend not modifying your carry gun. Especially the trigger. Sights are the most common modification. Whether you have a 1911 or a polymer wonder, or a SIG, Beretta, Taurus or whatever, it seems as though there’s so much talk and decision making that goes into the modification of one’s handgun. Even revolver shooters tend to favor trigger jobs. In this episode I start with responding to a few listener emails, then get into an interview with Steve Zopfi about trigger modifications. We don’t talk much about competition shooting, mostly we discussed modifying carry guns. He discusses his STI and his Glock. So thanks for downloading and listening and links can be found at the Gun Rights Radio Network Forum. Bob Mayne, HandgunWorld Show
Regarding mag length; if the gun fits in the box with the mag locked in place, and the combo makes weight for the division, the gun/mag combo is legal.
About trigger jobs:
A justified “clean” shoot is a “clean” shoot. If you do things properly/legally you will never end up in front of a District Attorney and at the mercy of a judge or jury. Civil liability is another issue and I think a modified trigger could be held against you in civil court. With that said I wonder if a trigger job is even necessary. If you can’t get the job done with a stock trigger at self defense ranges then you need more help than a modified trigger can offer. I say take the money allocated for a trigger job buy some ammo and put lead down range!!! BTW thanks for answering my previous question!!!!
