Trigger Mike Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 when an officer we were repeatedly told to not alter the trigger or if we got into a situation and our pistol went off they would examine it and we could be sued and liable if we had altered the trigger. a neighbor who carries due to his profession said he was told to never change anything. A lawyer said if anything was changed it would make him liable. i thought of a match grade barrel. seems more accuracy would be better. would changing the barrel increase my liability in times of trouble?

John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 If it ain't broke don't fix it. Leave your duty gun as is or factory or certified factory armorer work only. If its not a duty gun change what you want. if you are in an incident you are likely going to be getting an attorney, having a match grade barrel will be the least of your worries.

BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 BUT,, when it comes to what may happen in court ANYTHING can become a point of debate. Even if you practice using silhouette targets can be a point used against you. Not saying it will or won't, just about anything is possible.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The OIS I was in. Had a Bar-Sto bbl in my Armand Swenson built Colt 1911 .45acp. Nut'n was ever said to me. Still have that pistol. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry T Harrison Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I know of no reason that should be a problem, triggers yes but barrels no. But why open that can of worms? BTW our legal council was more concerned with images on custom pistol guns, things like skulls and other images that could be considered a sign that you were predisposed to kill, rebel flags were definitely a no no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Mike Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 i have to admit, i ordered one and then thought of the liability, but after comparing the original barrel with a Wilson Combat Match grade barrel in the Glock 19 (i have a Wilson Combat fever for some reason lately) that the difference is night and day. it won't make a difference under stress but it sure improves my confidence when just plinking in the back yard.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 It look'd stock, except for the S&W sights and satin hard chrome finish(my dept is next to the Pacific Ocean). The gun was a gift to me. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
