People modify weapons all the time.

For instance, the carry guns carried by the NYPD have a 12 lb trigger pull (it takes 12 pounds of pressure to pull the trigger). The manufacturer recommends a 5 lb pull.

A heavier pull makes the gun much less accurate. It may be one reasin why NYPD officers have shuch a low rate of hitting their target...

I've added ambidextrous slide releases and magazine releases to my guns (I'm a lefty), I've had trigger work done to improve the feel of the trigger.

I've changed out the stocks on rifles to fit my body better.

Nothing odd about it...
