I see all the time, even professional operators, carrying full-blown custom 1911s for defensive purposes, many as civilians as every day concealed carry. Yet, when someone mentions modifying a Glock or XD or similar beyond sights they cry about liability issues etc.
So what is the difference between a single action 1911 with a 3.5-4lb. trigger and everything tighter than god knows what, and a Glock or XD or any other production pistol for that matter, with say a 4.5-5lb. trigger and upgraded internal parts?
Just curious as I would love to have a custom XD to use for concealed carry, but dont want my weapon of choice or its modfications done by a professional pistolsmith (Robar) to come into question were I forced to use it.
