Any experience with these?

I looked online and can’t find a damn thing. I would really like a franchi LH so I don’t spend a fortune on it I really don’t hunt or shoot very much.

I’ve even tossed the idea of a mossberg 500 but I can’t seem to find any in stock anywhere online

Benelli makes a good one, but honestly all of mine are RH models and have no issue.

Currently I have an 870 and a SBE3 that are lefty. Sold my 11-87 that was a lefty. Shot right handed shotguns from the left side for a long time. Also have a Browning BPS that is ambi.

Yea I’ve seen those but they are $500 more and I just can’t justify spending $1300-1400 on something I will use once or twice a yr. I just feel weird to say I’m a grown man and only own a 20ga shotgun lol

I'm left eye dominant/shoot left handed (righthanded) but always have shot right handed guns.

Other than a little gun powder in your eye no big deal

Fellow southpaw here.

You basically have a few choices. The most important of which is the cast of the stock.

A true LH stock and action will fit you best. In the absence of that a neutral straight stock is the best option. A RH stock should consistently hit right of target for a LH shooter.

I shot RH guns for many years before moving to a LH Benelli M2. By that I mean 2-3” off
POA. For shotguns many would consider this not worth worrying about.

So ideally find a true LH gun. Second choice a straight stock or bottom eject gun. Option of last resort a RH gun and train yourself to shoot it.

Yea I have always shot right hand guns my entire life.

Didn’t think about the BPS that would be a good option

Buddy bought an M2 from Simmons 5 years ago and they had an excellent selection of LH shotguns.

Same. The only time a left handed long-arm really comes into play is with bolt actions.

The franchi is going to be the cheapest left hand semi auto.

One you leave there its an a400 or benelli. But I think you can find the super x in left also.

Really wanted the franchi couldn’t find one

Found an m2 but was about a 30 day wait

Walked into Jim’s and the actually had a couple of bps it was last yrs model not the updated one but I really have been getting tired of looking and waiting so I grabbed it

Figured I could get the franchi later if I wanted and all this political bs dies down
