Doesn't brother me, I find it easier to handle in some cases like an AR platform. All my bolt actions are right handed but looking to get a few left hand rifles.

I naturally shoot southpaw with rifles, shotguns and bows because I could see better with my left eye. Pops insisted that I shoot right handed, so when he was looking I did. Same thing with hitting baseballs. Lefty by God and ambidextrous by force. Also, I can't write left handed for shite.

The stocks on left handed guns are built for left handed shooters. Almost everyone left handed will shoot a left handed shotgun better.

Right handed shotguns don’t bother me.

Follow up shots on a bolt action are awkward but has not cost me an animal.

.22s and certain ammo out of my AR has been my only issue. I have a marlin 60 that has put casings down my shirt multiple times.

Same here. I have both. When my fathers sons turned 16 he gave each of us a Remington 1100 and special ordered a left hand for me. This was early 70’s and they didn’t have a lot out. I’ve had problems with it hanging up. I’ve shot right handed guns for 50 plus years and doesn’t bother me. I have a couple other left hand models so I shoot what I am in the mood to shoot.
