Do him a favor and make him learn to shoot righty. I did. Makes things a lot easier down the road.



It is not easier down the road. I was forced to shoot right handed and it sucks.

Always start them shooting with dominate eye not worrieg about which hand they write with. There are plenty of left handed guns out there but not stocked on the shelf. I usually go to gun shops and order one. If you shoot a right handed auto you could powder burn an eye. Pumps are ok but the safety is backwards and causes accidents when you finally buy a lefty. Doubles work great because of the safety on the thumb.

If buying new order him a lefty and you will both be happy. I am still angry with my parrents for forcing me the wrong way.

How old is your son?

My dad faced a similar dilemma when I was 13. He ended going all out and got me a LH super black eagle (the original). That thing kicked my butt for a few years but I loved it. Its still my primary waterfowl gun 13 years later.

If its not too much of a stretch for him to handle a 12Ga, you may as well just get something he can grow in to since a LH gun is going to cost you a small fortune no matter what.
