Trigger Job on Carry Gun?

Hell yes.

I have a complete Cylinder and Slide FCG tuned to a very nice 4 1/2lbs in my Lightweight Gov't. All Series 80 stuff unmodified, intact, and functional.

If your 19 is a Gen3 try a dot connector from a gen 4. They are lighter without the sponginess of the minus.

I'll give it a shot, Thanks!

My EDC G19 has the same trigger setup as my competition G17; I'm used to it and that way the subconscious will execute the same way.

Ghost EvoElite connector with shortened pre travel factory smooth trigger and bar with Zev springs; everything completely polished and smooth.

I thought the 'hair trigger' thing in shoots was more about cops. If a CCWer pulls his gun, he is most likely going to use it. Cops pull their guns more when they aren't going to shoot, and before trigger outside of the trigger guard was common, the lawyers for the shootee could say that the shooter cop didn't mean to shoot, and is making up a story about their client to justify the shooting.

I can't cite a source for this, just my recollection of what some said to me.

Trigger job? I'm thinking that they'll go after my RMR and X300 before the get to the trigger issues. That and spare magazine I might have on me.

That's what I've always thought on the subject. This whole myth about having a trigger job or this or that kind of ammo getting you prosecuted for a self defense shooting needs to die unless someone can cite an example of it actually happening.

This will never die, it fuels paranoia and sells gun magazines.

100% agree

Damn straight. I have been involved in these debates for years. I always ask someone to post an example of a civilian shooter's modified firearm being a point of contention in a courtroom. I have yet to get a reply back.

I don't mess with factory guns, as a general rule, regardless of whether I carry. It is a reliability thing for me, not out of concern for lawsuits.

You kids these days, with your polymer pistols.......

Before Gaston came out with his Vundernine, EVERYBODY got a trigger job on their carry pistol. It was a well-known fact that you were risking death, dismemberment, and male pattern baldness if you carried a stock trigger. That was the main topic of conversation: "Who did the carry package on your 1911, Billy Ray?"

My, how the world changes.....

I have investigated LEO shootings and non LEO shootings that were found to both justified and non justified. In all cases the guns are kept as evidence until the case is adjudicated. A firearms trigger pull weight has never been discussed or been a factor in any of these criminal cases. The firearm is inspected by the PDs armorer if it's a LEO gun. If the gun belongs to the department it can't have any alterations that are not approved. This does not hurt the criminal case but could have some implications in a civil case. It's then sent to the local crime lab where it is test fired. As said by others, it's the justification for the use of deadly force, including the justification for EVERY round fired that counts.
