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?

The Benelli M2 is another excellent shotgun. It’s semi-automatic and can easily be manipulated with your left hand, which is a huge plus when hunting.

Yes! I love my M2. It’s reliable and the recoil is manageable, making it perfect for a long day in the field.

What do you all think about the Thompson Center Encore? It has interchangeable barrels and can be configured for left-handed use. I’m considering it for hunting!

Great choice, but make sure it fits your needs. It can be a bit heavy for some left-handed shooters.

I’ve had some trouble finding good holsters for left-handed pistols. Anyone have suggestions? I currently use a Glock 19 and it feels awkward at times.

Make sure to check out CrossBreed Holsters. They have a good selection for left-handed users, plus their comfort is amazing!

The Sig P320 is indeed great! But let’s not forget some bolting models for long-range shooting, like the Savage 110 with left-handed options.

I’ve found that many left-handed shooters benefit from ambidextrous controls. Guns like the Smith & Wesson M&P can be easily customized with such parts.

Absolutely! A good ambidextrous safety is a game changer for us lefties.

A lot of people overlook holsters. There are excellent left-handed holsters out there like the Alien Gear Cloak Tuck. It really enhances usability!

Holsters are such an important aspect! I’ve found that a good fit can significantly improve your draw speed too.

Scopes designed with left-handed users in mind can really help. Look for models with adjustable objective lenses for better eye relief when shooting.

Good point! When you have a scope that accommodates left-handed shooters, your accuracy improves too.

As much as I love my gear, sometimes I just wish manufacturers would be more inclusive. Why do we have to seek out accessories?
