The possibility is always there that removal or disabling of a factory safety could be used against you in court, if you are unfortunate enough to be there as a defendant. Is it rebuttable? Sure -- but juries typically are not "gun people" and may not be generally technically or mechanically savvy, so anything beyond "He REMOVED a safety device that was put there BY THE FACTORY!" is likely to be lost.

I prefer not to take the risk. I own a Hi-Power. Even though I don't carry it and I don't have it out as a primary home defense pistol, it IS a pistol and it COULD some day be used for defense. The magazine safety is a huge pain in the neck for me, because I shoot and carry 1911s and they don't have mag safeties. But I won't remove the mag safety from the Hi-Power just because of the remote possibility it could come back to bite me.
