If so, do you shoot RH Rifles and Shotguns or LH? I bought a LH Savage .308 for Deer, but still have a RH 12 Gauge. The only Semi I see in LH is Benelli with a hefty price tag.

Lefty here, all my stuff is right handed but have never had a problem shooting them. The shotguns I carry most are doubles so that reduces problems even more...

I am left handed in every sense.

Shotguns I hunt with are either my BPS or Ithaca Mdl 37. Both have bottom ejects.

Rifles I hunt with now are single shot, 7400 Alt 6, or a RH A-Bolt. My next long gun is going to be a custom made LH 25-06 or 270 WSM.

Absolutely not, if someone tries to tell you that a lefty shooting righty is faster because of bolt manipulation ask them why all rightys dont shoot lefty.

Id be lying if I told you I shot shotguns a lot, but I do have a Benelli SBE Left hand. I do know that Remington makes/made a left hand 1100.

About the only gun I shot thats not ambi or LH is a Glock and only because I bought them and trained with them as they are. When I win the powerball Ill buy the gen4 glocks and switch.

Ruger makes some nice rifles in LH. I'm strongly considering that Benelli M2.

Lefty by necessity here. Right eye was injured in fishing mishap as a 15 year old and I had to switch. Very smooth transition.

My Grandad was right handed but shot left handed because he was left eye dominate. All of his guns were RH the only exception was the hammer extension on his 30-30.

I'm left handed and everything that I shoot is made for righties, with the exception being my bow. Tried to shoot right handed and it just wasn't happening.

The only problem I have is working the bolt on my .30-06.... I better make that first shot count!

I looked at one of those during the summer. Actually a nice gun. Fit me very well. Might get one eventually
