Seeking Help: Best Left-Handed Guns

As a left-handed shooter, finding the right firearm can sometimes feel like a daunting task. Many mainstream guns are designed primarily for right-handed users, which can result in uncomfortable handling and even safety issues for lefties like us. I’m reaching out to gather insights and recommendations on firearms that are truly suitable for left-handed shooters.

What to Consider

When looking for the best left-handed guns, consider:

  • Adaptability: Are there models that can be easily adjusted for left-handed operation?
  • Ergonomics: How comfortable is the grip and overall design for a lefty?
  • Brands and Models: Which manufacturers are known for making left-handed-friendly firearms?
  • User Experiences: What have other left-handed shooters found in their use of certain models?
  • Safety Features: Is there anything specific we should be aware of regarding the operation of right-handed designed firearms?

Types of Firearms

I’d love to hear recommendations on:

  • Pistols: Any particular models that are ambidextrous or designed for left-handed use?
  • Rifles: What’s available out there for left-handed hunters or competitive shooters?
  • Shotguns: Are there specific options that work well for skeet or trap shooting?
