[QUOTE="C_Hallbert, post: 4175248, member: 42957"] I wouldn’t own a pistol with an optical sight, an attached light, or vented barrel; but because I’m physically impaired (physical injuries and rheumatoid arthritis since age 23 with fused wrists, fused right elbow at 90 degrees, limited range of motion in the fingers of my right hand with the worst being my right trigger finger which forces me to use my middle finger to operate a trigger) requiring me to replace and/or modify the trigger groups on Glock pistols to 4 pounds pull. Therefore, my answer is: if circumstances forced me to use a weapon for self defense, I would be using a system modified sufficiently to enable me to use it safely and effectively.to eliminate the immediate threat. I was also advised in CLEET around 1985 not to carry a duty weapon modified ouside service speciations. At that time I carried a Colt Series 70 Combat Commander with the trigger and sere tuned to 4 pound pull and the extractor replaced (after breaking on the police range) by an OHP Armorer. The 1911 is my preferred handgun, but I cannot criticize Glock weapons as they are reliable under the most severe conditions. [/QUOTE]
