I can agree with this concept in theory, but with a little modification it could be a sound idea. I would never go into a combat situation with a modified weapon that had not been thoroughly tested for the modification to work at all times. I would point out that the 1911 has probably more possible modifications for it and some are good and some are bad. But the special operations community kept using highly modified versions of it after the military had transitioned from the 1911 to the M9 for everyone else. This fact says that my modification of the advice to make sure the mods are thoroughly tested is what makes the critical difference.Bolton Strid wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 12:33 amI have never been nor ever will go into a conflict or where there may be a conflict with a sidearm that has non-factory internals. A lot of research time and money went into design of trigger internals that would mesh into the overall design & function, more so with pistols designed with combat in mind. Like with any interest, there are things out there which are made to sell, get your money and offer little to no upgrade in reality. Best you leave the tricky stuff for the range, where it's safer to do so, where the targets don't shoot back. It's up to you whether you want to risk or not the sort of experience that guy in New Mexico had.
Always remember that there is a big difference between mods for the range and competition and mods for actual life on the line situations. If the mod works on the range but gives you no benefit in combat, I would stay away from it for a carry weapon.
