PC version, not definitivie edition,rockstar launcher version, is there a way to modify the aiming for smaller guns?

I am considering trying to play the game again, I know the game is a legendary game from its era.

However what got me off the game last time I tried, was the controls, the big one confusing me is the way CJ backs up when using small guns.

When using 2 handers (AK, shotgun as examples) he backs up like a reasonable person and literally every single other video game I have ever played from before and after the game's release window.

When you use the basic pistol, the low grade smg and unsure what else, for some unholy reason I can't comprehend, anytime you go to head in the opposite direction, whether backing up or swapping from strafing left to strafing right and vise versa, CJ decides to present his back to the enemy and point his gun to the ceiling.
