Old Fuff, you make a good point - in fact, Seiden made his rep. as a self-defence lawyer on precisely that case, in Miami (against Janet Reno, no less, who was State A-G at the time
).
I've read as much as I can about this, and done three courses with Mas Ayoob, precisely because his ongoing legal work, with lawyers, prosecutors and judges, does indeed bear out the point that shyster lawyers will use anything and everything against you in a civil case in order to get their grubby paws on your hard-earned money. Heck, there are many documented cases where lawyers have contacted someone who was involved in a perfectly justifiable defensive shooting, and was no-billed by a Grand Jury, and told them that if they will only provide the name of their insurance company, there need be no nasty lawsuit over the "unfortunate accident" that left their client injured or dead. Their unspoken implication was that they'd make an outrageous claim against the insurer, who would then (all too often, unfortunately) offer to settle out of court for a much smaller sum, rather than face the cost of a trial, and that way the bottom-feeding lawyer and his client would split at least some money.
My carry guns are therefore totally standard, except for the addition of night sights and an action job, if necessary. There is nothing like a very light single-action trigger that a shyster can fasten upon as possible evidence of a negligent discharge (in fact, my carry revolvers have all been rendered DAO for this purpose - with a super-smooth action job by Clark Custom Guns, they really don't need to be cocked, anyway!
). I use Glocks and SIG's as carry pistols, as these are both in use by Federal law enforcement agencies as duty weapons, and load them with ammunition which is the same as that selected by the Feds for their agents. Any lawyer who wants to allege that I'm carrying an unsafe weapon, or using particularly brutal, nasty ammunition, will have to try to explain in court how national law enforcement agencies and individuals are guilty of the same charges... Somehow, I don't see the average jury buying their argument!
