So strict as to not allowing switching the mag release to the right for left-handed shooters? I mean that's part of the capabilities of certain stock guns like Glocks gen 4.

Right but any mods are modifications and they are not allowed. A lawyer had a field day with this at some point i bet so a rule was made. Being left handed is nothing difficult to overcome with a mag release. If its all you know you don't know anything different.

I should have been a little clear. No modifications allowed by the individual officers. If something needed to be done then it's done by the agency armorer.
I personally don't believe in modifying agency weapons to fit an individual officer except maybe the changing of the backstrap for different size hands. Everything else stays the same.

But this is not a modification, more like a configuration. What if it's reconfigured for left handed shooter by the agencies armorer?
