Edc gun, keep it factory or have it decked out with mods?

So let's have the discussion about whether or not to modify your everyday carry gun. There has been the debate for decades now after aftermarket accessories and upgrades have come out about whether modifying your everyday carry gun will hurt you in court. Granted this only pertains to whether or not you ever have to use your everyday carry gun in self defense.

I honestly don't get why people have such a big issue with modifying or upgrading parts on their everyday carry gun. In my opinion as long as you aren't putting anything hateful or pro death on it then go for it.

Aftermarket triggers ofter are a great first modification as you are able to reduce trigger pull and reset. This allows for quicker and smoother follow-up shots on target. Now who wouldn't want that on an everyday carry gun? You also can get the trigger shoes on a variety of colors so it will add some pizazz to the gun.

Weapon lights allow you to see and confirm your target in low and no light (at night) situations. You should always be able to identify and confirm your target as being a threat before pulling the trigger. How do you do this at low or no light without a pistol light? Some will say get a hand held but I say "why not both?". If I have to draw my pistol I want both hands on it if possible.

Barrels, often aftermarket barrels are indeed an upgrade from the factory barrels. Most aftermarket barrels have better feed ramps, tighter tolerances, better twist rates, and you can add extra length by getting a threaded barrel. This all adds up to added accuracy at further distances. Is this absolutely necessary for better accuracy? No, but why wouldn't you want every bit of accuracy advantages possible?

Magwells, in Facebook groups I've seen this comment a lot "magwells are for race guns and not for edc guns"......what?!?! That makes no sense. The point of a magwell is to allow the user to more effectively insert a magazine (not clip) without looking by creating a funnel effect for the magazine to slide into. This allows for faster reloads. Now if you are getting shot at and needed to reload wouldn't you want to reload as fast as possible? I 100% would.

Red dots, same as magwell I've seen a lot of people say that they're for race guns only. Again this makes no sense. Big brained people out there in the gun community have ran the data between people shooting a pistol with and without a red dot. They have proven that red dots on pistols makes the shooter quicker and more accurate. Red dots aren't going to make you an Olympic gold medal winning shooter by just adding it but the data is there. So again, why wouldn't you want to put more shots on target quicker with less misses?

Painting your gun aka cerakoting it is hugely popular now days. Cerakoting your gun is like getting a tattoo or giving your car, truck, or motorcycle a custom paint job. It adds a person flare or touch to it so why not do it? As long as you're not having skulls and hate symbols painted on then there is absolutely no reason not to.

All in all have the best gun possible in my opinion is a must. You need to train with it though to effectively. Just because you have a Gucci everyday carry gun doesn't mean you'll be a fantastic shooter so go out there and train with it. Get it dirty with carbon, put scratches on it, once you've done thay then do it again.

I also recommend having an insurance company for self defense like Second Call Defense. They are by far the best in the business and the only ones to do the insurance model correctly for firearms/weapons.

Now, where do you get your everyday carry gun modifications / accessories? I get mine mainly from Brownells because they have a humongous inventory. I also use the coupon code "WLS10" to save 10% on all my orders over $150.

Remember to chose dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery everyday!
