I have been shopping the left handed sales at CDNN sports a lot recently and now have a LH Turkish Hatsan "Magnum Supreme" 12ga semi auto shotgun & then I jumped in or on the discontinued Thompson Center Dimension LOC line of bolt action rifles in LH. So far have been able to get three bolts and four barrels along with three of their scope bridges. I first bought a complete left handed 30-06 Dimension rifle with a 22-250 barrel bolt mag and mag housing along with needed dedicated change out tools for $499.99 plus $9.99 delivered to my FFL. I have since acquired a Win 243 set and a 204 Ruger set. I have the AB & C bolt groups mag and mag housings and am looking for a LH D group bolt(300 Win mag & 7MM Rem mag IIRC)that I may or may not buy. BTW the LOC system barrels are usable on both left or right hand LOC receivers. I am looking for the rare(evidently)223/5.56 Dimensions LOC barrel but not too sure about getting one any time soon. I still have the LH 223 Rem American from Ruger so not in a rush.

Still here. I'm going ground squirrel shooting in a couple weeks. My 93R17GLV will hopefully get a workout.

The little buggers haven't been bothered since last September, so there should be some good action.

Good luck from a fellow lefty.

Thanks!:bthumb:

Was somewhat of a disappointing hunt this time. The grass was much taller than when we were there previously. The little buggers were usually moving about completely under cover.

Every once in a while a head would pop up at long range, but that was it. We got a few there, including a couple well beyond the usual .17hmr distances. Combination of luck and a lot of holdover (and a bit of Kentucky windage).

With some practice, I had good luck with the BDC reticle in a 4-14x42 Nikon M308 scope that I put on my 93R17GLV. Their Spot On software is actually pretty close at determining what distances the various points on the reticle correspond to.

I'm right handed, but left eye dominant, so i shoot lefty with right handed firearms, no problemo.:Blasting_

New to this site, left eye dominant shooter. Ambidextrous in most other tasks.
Have a few left handed rifles in various calibers.

Welcome. The more lefties the better!

Welcome!

I am also left-eye dominant, so I shoot all my guns left-handed. Right-handed for most everything else. Have exactly ONE lefty rifle, but many ambiguous guns.

 

[topclass]

lefty all the way

left handed and left eye dominant.

Recently acquired a LH Remington 40X (single shot) in 6BR to complement my LH 40X repeater in .308. Also have a LH BSA Mk IV ISU.

Otherwise my bolt action shooting irons are wrong-handed but work well on the bench.

A couple of pics from the Irish Open held recently, just so the leftys don't feel left out. me and my right hand Anschutz 1710 with the bolt extended to go under the trigger so I can cock it with the left hand without coming out of the aim.
There are 2 pics there.

Just checkin'

Still lots of us in our right minds still around. Not much to talk about. Persecution of lefties seems such a small issue when there is an endless lineup claiming systemic racism, mass misogyny, the rights of males to compete against women in sports and a host of other issues. Us poor lefties just can't compete. 🤭

left handed present & accounted for.

Left handed guns are/were much more common, though haven't looked to buy since the china plague hit. I have a left handed version of all my long guns. I should have jumped on a couple of left handed pistols offered back in the day. Good to see the group still rolling on.

I'm right handed but shoot LH because of eye dominance. Several years ago I bought a couple LH 870's then a LH Savage rimfire. My centerfires were RH. Since the first of the year I've bought a couple LH Savage actions and built a 22-250 and a 260 Remington. It's pretty cool to not have to dismount the rifle to cycle the action.

I also shoot some fun benchrest .22 matches, RH rifles work well for that.

 

[AC5D]

LH Anschutz 1761 sporter
LH Ruger Gunsite Scout
LH Remington 870
Browning Citori
Lots of handguns shot from the left

And ANA just informed me that my LH 1761 MPR will be here in two weeks.

The LH is strong in this one.

 

[Ceapea]

I've got several LH rifles. Problem is, I've been shooting RH guns for so long, I actually hate handling my LH guns!! Completely un-natural! Awkward to use and all the controls are in the wrong place.
Weird, but true...

 

[Fiddleharp]

Testing...one...two...three! Does this thing work? Testing...

 

[Dean2]

It works, problem is, there are limited number of topics that are LH specific. Unless someone comes out with something new, like a LH chainsaw, circular saw or one that is actually ambidextrous, there isn't a lot new to talk about. At least LH kids don't get the Spawn of Satan treatment that was still common when I was a kid.

I do find it odd that places will give up 15% market share of Lefties, but you see it with Gluten allergies too. At least 25% of the population is avoiding Gluten due to allergies or other reasons yet try to find non-gluten options in restaurant, or grocery stores.

 

[eastbank]

as a 78 year old left handed shooter, i have lived to see many left hand rifles being made for us half right shooters, i own and use left hand rifles and right hand rifles with out any problems and am at home with either.

Left Hand

I guess I am totally screwed up. I shoot long guns left hand, hand guns right hand with left eye dominance. Write right hand and throw left hand. Grew up shooting right hand guns so it is more natural I guess. I do own left hand Cooper 57M, two Anschutz 1416, CZ 452, Caesar Guerini Sporting, Beretta 682 Sporting with balance right hand assortment or ambidextrous such as Ruger #1.
When I go to a store that has tools and if I am asked if I need some help I say: Yes, I am looking for a left hand tape measure. Only ever had one clerk know what I was talking about. When I use a tape measure I pull the tape out with my left hand and mark with my right so the tape is always upside down. You can special order left hand tape measures but never did.
Now that I am getting later in life my left eye has the worst vision. Bummer.

 

[AC5D]

Just "finished" a Vudoo 3-60 build:

20" MTU profile barrel
Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56 MILRAD Scope
Trigger Tech Diamond trigger at 16oz
KRG Bravo chassis with full length ARCA rail
Send-it electronic level
Atlas bipod

Have 530 rounds of Lapua Center-X through it and the best group has been five rounds at 50-yards in 0.153" (0.293MOA)

left handedness

I was left-handed and right eye dominant in the beginning. I spent the summer when I was nine years old, learning to write with my right hand (my father promised he'd buy me a rifle if I accomplished that task). I was never quite as good writing right handed as left, but I can still do it when needed. Shooting rifle right handed felt natural. I shot pistol left handed, and eventually tried using my left eye. It works out better for recovery from recoil (when shooting a semi-auto). Nowadays, I shoot rifle right handed and aim with my right eye, and I shoot pistol left handed and aim with my left eye. More than anything else, it is a matter of learning to coordinate you unsed hand, and learning to see with you non-dominant eye. For persons without physical disabilites, where there is a will, there is a way.
I have two air pistols; one with a left-handed grip (for regular shooting), and one with a right-handed grip (just for fun).
Three of my rifles can be shot left-handed, but only one is (mostly) ambidextrous (my Anschutz 335 break barrel rifle). The others are completely right handed.
