Miles, I'm now in my 30th year as an expert witness in this sort of matter. I've NEVER seen a problem come up from a gun's trigger pull being too SMOOTH. But MANY times I've seen both prosecutors and plaintiffs' attorneys make the claim that the trigger pull was too LIGHT, and conducive to an unintentional discharge, and evidence of recklessness and negligence.
Which has led me to the simple conclusion that there is no such thing as "too smooth," but there is definitely such a thing as "too light." Duh...
Beyond triggers, Mas, you have also had some interesting insights on other "weapons modifications" and their impact in the court.
Some were kind of obvious - a court might have a problem with engraving "Make My Day" in the muzzle of the carry gun, for example - and there is no reasonable explanation a defendant could make for that.
Others were a little more subtle, but might be advantageous - a court might initially think adding a Crimson Trace laser to a carry gun is kind of like adding Borg implants to be intimidating - a reasonable defense might be that with aged eyes, the laser makes me a safer shooter since the aiming index and the target are at the same plane using a laser that bifocals can't match.
Expands beyond what austinguy23 originally asked about "being hassled in court", but might make a pretty intereting podcast at some point.
Definitely makes a good reason to take Lethal Force Institute classes and to buy the "Cute Lawyer Tricks" video.
