I think the most important thing is to do what you have to and as long as you're in the clear about using deadly force, you won't have to face charges regardless of whether your gun has any modifications to it so long as the modifications are legal.
While I haven't spent the time trying to find an example, I will say that you are probably correct in terms of a criminal conviction. However, don't discount the likelyhood that a civil suit will follow and THAT is where a lawyer will be able to successfully spin a modified firearm.
