After the incident, which gun would you rather explain you used? Why?

[ClintC]

RMR optic for me. I have shot both ways. the optic is easy for me to get and hold on target. Both eyes open with iron sites I can’t do. RMR optic both eyes open to easy.

Question 2. Why?

I am not interested in whether or not you would use a Glock. I'm only interested in the type of gun. A heavily modified gun or a factory stock gun.

Factory as it may go into police storage for quite a while while things clear up. I'd rather they take my $600 G19 over my $1200 G19.

Also, do people walk around all day with a G19 and weapon light, Reddot and compensator concealed all day or is that just a range toy?

Some people walk around with an AR.

I was talking to a Tulsa cop at one of our kids games. He said the more modified a gun is the more it can be presented in court that you were trying to make it more deadly if you ever had to use it for self defense. That’s why I voted bone stock

They taught that concept to us when I went through CLEET basic police academy in 1979. All the handguns I own that I carry for self defense are unmodified. No extra whistles or bells.

That is precisely why I started this thread. I maintain the concealed carry gun should be as it was from the factory.

Usage of a weapon light almost requires you to muzzle someone to use the light, therefore it would be an aggravated assault.

Legally they cannot confiscate your weapon unless you are charged with a crime.
Local sheriff has done had this conversation with OSBI and informed them of this fact.

When I go to court my lawyer will do all the talking. I'm not gonna explain any freaking thing.

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.
