Like it or not, most people modify their carry guns. Even cops extensively modify their duty guns more and more these days... there are people carrying guns with compensators and ported barrels more and more, look at all the staccatos with 2lb triggers, mag wells, compensators, match barrels and 24rd magazines... if "practical" sports shooting doesn't stay practical, then what is the incentive for people to join and get involved? We can't just count on nostalgia from people who want to shoot guns the way they were 10 years ago...
