Modifying your gun comes down to:

1) Is it mechanically safe? (Meaning, no safeties were disabled, gun within factory spec)
2) CYA: Can you authenticate? This means you can state a clear and logical reason for the modification that satisfies #1.

For example, Mas Ayoob likes a NY-1 trigger spring with 3.5# connector in his Glocks. This smooths the trigger pull, creates a very positive reset, and increases the weight slightly. It is still within factory specification.

The reasons for these mods can be:
1) Smooth pull improves accuracy allowing better hits in a fighht.
2) Positive reset increases shooting speed while providing a more tactile reset click that is more noticeable under the effects of adrenaline.
3) Increases trigger pull weight increases mechanical gun safety.
4) The nature of the NY-1 trigger spring increases mechanical reliability. Standard trigger springs are a part that commonly breaks. The NY-1 trigger spring compresses instead.

People believe #3 should be “increases safety” but we all know violating the NRA gun safety rules is the real issue.

In summary, you have to think through your mods for a defensive firearm. Think about how it would sound while you were testifying in court or were on a jury listening to the defendant talk about it. Add in that a proper defense will take a jury specifically chosen for ignorance on guns, law, police procedure and defense to a trained jury of your “gun” peers and you will be fine. Your bank account is going to suffer no matter what; at least be free to replenish it after the legal proceedings end.
