EDC might get sights only. No legal issues. I didnāt design it.
Good question. My personal opinion is I would only replace an OEM trigger with a an OEM trigger.

Iāve replaced triggers with OEM and aftermarket upgrades and Iāve enhanced triggers by doing ātrigger jobsā. If this becomes an issue at my trial (it will not and Iāve never heard of one incident in which it was) my attorney will deal with it then. In the mean time I want EVERY ADVANTAGE I can legally get.

What does the replacement do for you? If it improves your accuracy I would submit that your liability exposure would be considerably less than the liability for a miss. On mine, I swapped a rounded for a flat, which I prefer. I also made a change on the connector, which really made no real difference on pull wt. though it did improve the smoothness and improved the the way it hit and passed through the proverbial wall. It improved consistency and made the perceived pull wt. less when in reality itās still quite close to factory. I refuse to let these arguments enter into the mix of what or what we cannot do. Today they argue triggers, theyāve already attacked magazines, next your choice of sights and next the holster you choose. Buy the gun, keep it legal where you live, and enjoy! Keep the old parts just in case.

So did you remove the transfer bar?

If the EDC is used in self defense, the law will take that specific firearm and then cross check it with the oem of that firearm. Then they with examine the purposes for any variations. Extended mags so you can cause more harm, a trigger with lighter weight so it is easier to dispense death, etc. One must simply be prepared to answer these questions in court. The safest answer is that if any trigger modification occurs, keep it at the same trigger pull weight as is factory. The last part is, where you live. My state is pretty pro 2a and so I have replaced triggers usually for flat triggers while trying to stick with a close weight.

On a Redhawk?!?! I donāt think that works.
Iāve owned pre-transfer bar Blackhawks (4 screw guns) and post transfer bar Blackhawks and have left them all unmolested. Really either way is fine by meā¦

I think so. The video and article Nathan posted are interesting, but they deal with āmodificationsā like āremoving safetiesā (canāt think of one gun that would work correctly if the factory safety is removed) or pinning safeties on a 1911, and the use of ultra-light competition type triggers. I donāt think Iād ever do any of those things, donāt know anyone that has on carry guns.
In any case both experts are full of low percentage theoretical scenarios, but no real life examples that I could find. Sooooooooo

There is a prosecutor trying to prove that a modified weapon resulted in murder and then there is no law, that I know of, making modifications illegal, unless you go full auto.
Maybe in CA, IL, and NJ
