However, since 5 years have passed, I wonder if the list has changed. With the exception of the popular 1911 mod, what mods are best for the shooter with modest abilities?

Also...does a reduced trigger pull represent a safety risk for someone not as well trained as most on this forum? Is it too light for the less-skilled user?

Should a Bar-Sto stainless uncompensated barrel be added? Is a stainless or tungsten guide rod worthwhile?

Thanks as always.
Okay, okay do the HK mod then.

Change the trigger to 3.5 lbs and call it good... use the money for all the other crap on ammo and training.

A 3.5 lb trigger is just as big of a liability as a stock trigger. Yes, it is lighter but when your adrenaline kicks in the 2.5 lbs isn't gonna make that much of a difference in stopping you from pulling the trigger.

Just remember in a shooting you are either justified or you are not... it is that simple, make your shots a conscience decision.
