I also replaced the guide rod with an internal laser when I bought the gun 15 years ago, would that open me up to extra scrutiny if I ever had to use it in defense of myself or my family? Wonder what the video guy would have to say about that

If the yankee in the youtube video was right, aftermarket trigger manufacturers would be out of business.

I looked around the internet for anything else on trigger jobs and I saw a few other sites basically saying that the fact that someone modified their trigger would certainly be brought up in court and should not affect the outcome of the trial, you just have to hope the jury doesn't get the wrong impression that the defendant was a "quick shooter" looking for an opportunity to shoot someone. My guess is the defendant would be fine, I would just get a little nervous if I were the defenden and it was brought up.

He has one or two videos on lasers and said nothing.

I would hope that they would understand that a lighter trigger has nothing to do with being a "Quick Shooter" but has everything to do with being a "More Accurate Shooter". I can empty the magazine just as fast with either trigger pull, I can do it much more accurately with the lighter trigger pull.

You know that, I know that, but I wonder what a jury box full of non gun owners being swayed by a slick prosecutor will believe if all I can afford is a public defender? Again, I agree 100% that it should not matter, I just have a feeling a prosecutor would bring it up in court and I would hope the jury is sophisticated enough to see the truth.

If you are really feeling froggy, don't forget this bad boy at the top of the food chain

A gun store in Louisville had one of those recently. Someone bought it up pretty quickly for I would guess a pretty penny. If they buyer is who I think it is, his gun collection is quite impressive and the Anaconda would fit very well in it.

I guess I will answer the original queston of the thread:

 

My favorite handgun that I own - My Glock 23 (Compact .40 S&W) My favorite because it is the only one I own.

 

My favorite handgun I want to own - I was thinking my next handgun would be a revolver and most likely a S&W 686 .357. However, I saw a review of the Sig P227 (.45APC Double Action/Single Action with double stack magazine) and it really is drawing me in.

That Sig is pretty nice, hard to go wrong with a Sig.

Except the price tag. Geesh.

 

I am also considering either of the 10mm Glocks. Cheaper than a S&W 686 and much cheaper than a Sig P227

Have any of you ever bought used and regretted it? ie Gun didn't work right and required extensive Gun Smithing?

Except the price tag. Geesh.

I've also got a G23, I thought about the 10mm also but in the end it was too similar to my .40 and didn't give me much difference from what I already had. I'd look at a G27 easier to conceal carry or go with a 1911 for a change from the Glock type gun. My son has an XD that is really nice and shoots much better than I expected, those are awfully good guns too and not too pricey.

I bought a SCCY CPX2 9mm and am pretty happy with it. Unfortunately the rear site did fall off after I tried to adjust it. Must not have tightened it enough. They sent me two more rear sites at no cost.

I really like my XD 40 that I just bought.

My son has two and really likes them both
