I have been involved in use of force lawsuits and the investigation of use of force incidents and I can tell you that if a good guy shoots a bad guy, a trigger job will not be a factor in a criminal case. And in a civil case you're gonna get your socks sued off of you for things that have absolutely no relevance to the incident at all.

Anything that helps a good guy (me) shoot a bad guy is a good thing.

I posted earlier about modification being bad. We were told many things that all wrapped up meant the same thing - a jury would somehow look unfavorably on you as a "gunslinger" and "wanting to kill" if you shot someone with a modified weapon or used handloads. I, frankly, thought that was a bunch of bulls.hit. Anything that aided my in placing a bullet where it was supposed to go, before my target shot me or some other innocent third party, was a GOOD thing. I had more control in where my rounds went, which meant to me the quite opposite of incurring liability - I still believe that given the brief chance to explain that a jury would understand. Regarding civil suits...the rules of evidence in criminal trials should be applied to civil cases too. The people suing you, to get to your department and governmental entity with the "deep pockets" can and do ask questions that have no bearing on what occurred.

I carried a Glock most of my career, and from day 1 I replaced the OEM connector with the 3 lb competition connector. The Para Ordnance P-14 I carried was converted to .45 Super, and was just loose enough to be reliable. It had a fitted Kart bull barrel, a fantastic trigger job, the slide rails were tightened, the ejection port was lowered and flared, it has a serrated trigger and the Wilson combat hammer. I really liked that pistol, but it had a malfunction from time to time, and while i had no trouble clearing the malfunctions, it worried me. That's when I went to the Glock 20. I can count the number of malfunctions from my Glock 20, that I remember, on 1 hand. It is my bed side gun now, and has the Zev Tek trigger assembly installed. I'm considering putting the Pyramid trigger in it. I just haven't been able to try a Glock that has the Pyramid trigger in it yet.

Modifications to your firearm(s) that help you stay on target and take the bad guy out before he gets you are harmless in court in my opinion.
