Charter is the only company I have found thus far, and they only have ONE model called the Southpaw. It's just a mirror image Undercover .38 special though. I would think companies would make at least a few different models or choices. Anyone know or have any helpful input? _________________________ "if you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem."

Aside from those two, I am unaware of any other manufacturers who make true left handed handguns, aside from Charter Arms, which is garbage anyway. My source? I am left handed, and I scourer the internet regularly for left handed firearms options. Bolt guns and shotguns are in decent supply for us wrong handed individuals thankfully. _________________________ Much like anonymous sex, internet based gun transactions are mildly risky, but almost always worth it.

Yeah I know that in today's modern age of CNC and pc-controlled everything in manufacturing, devs should be able to just 180 degree flip the file designs on what they are making, but I guess its just not worth it to them. An Ambidexterous design is about as good as you can hope for. My Canik has a reversible magazine release so that you can push either the left or right side to drop the magazine. That may be about as lefty friendly as I can think.

From an ejection stand point, autos shouldn't matter as the gun is generally centered on the body midline. _________________________ The Internet: Because experience is overrated and takes too much effort

Verylargeboots Professional FUDD Hater Registered: 10/10/16 Posts: 728 Loc: VA City or County: Lynchburg	Most modern semi automatic handguns save 1911 varients are ambidextrous enough for us 10-12% to deal with. I'm sure one day somebody will make a true left handed Glock clone or whatever but a reversible mag button is really all that's needed. A ambi safety too if applicable. Maybe ambi slide stop since not everyone slingshots their slides. _________________________ Much like anonymous sex, internet based gun transactions are mildly risky, but almost always worth it.
