Just don't make any mods to the gun at all-not even grips. I took an advanced defense course years ago and the instrutor told us that you will be labeled a "gun nut" in court no matter how justified you were in using the weapon if its modified in any way. That kind of of stuck with me. I keep a 357 Magnum S&W model 60 in the house-it's an old police turn in-smooth double action. Dumb me though, I let my carry permit expire.
