[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1871795, member: 24428"] On any handgun for concealed carry, like my Glocks that don't have a traditional thumb safety lever to click on & off... I would never want less than a 5 pound trigger pull. To darn easy to snag the trigger on clothing when holstering / re-holstering and touch off a round. Also, unlike when hunting or target shooting... when under the pressure of a life & death situation... people tend to get a adrenaline rush and that will make a 5 pound trigger pull seem like a 1 pound pull. What use to get a lot of people into trouble in the courts.... who used a gun to defend themselves... was going Hollywood with their bullets--- altering them so they would cause more damage than the original manufactured design. Such as cutting deep X's in the tips. I remember one time a movie showed a guy breaking a fever thermometer and putting some mercury in the tip of his hollowpoint bullets and then sealing it with some wax. The mercury was suppose to assure the bad guy died from mercury poisoning because it was so hard for doctors to get it all out of the blood system. It got a lot of publicity and people all over were trying it. Then one guy went to prison for approx. 30 yrs after shooting someone with a mercury laced bullet... when if he'd have used a unaltered bullet he would have been OK....and most people decided that wasn't such a good idea after all. The altered bullets were seen as a deliberate attempt to cause serious injury or death, rather than mere self defense to stop a threat when using commercial ammo. [/QUOTE]
