hedd-wyn Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Right then, Even though my Hatsan Escort has served me EXTREMELY well, I've just been promoted and will be able to afford something more expensive in a few months time. I've been scanning the internet for a nice left hander semi autos but they are hard to find. I'm I right in thinking that Beretta semi autos don't come in left handed??? I've also seen the odd Fabarm and Beneili in left handed, anyone rate these? Or know of any other decent manufacturers that make left handed semi autos? Would really appreciate some advice here gents. Diolch Heddwch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miroku4399 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 My dad bought a Benelli Super 90 in left handed years ago and it has served him well, and never let him down Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
at106 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Beretta don't make a left handed semi auto but they do come with shims to adjust the cast. I am left handed and shoot an al391 and I haven't had any problems with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I didn't in the end, the Mrs found out that I had some cashe saved up so now we're going abroad and the sxs will have to wait I have a tidy over and under to use on game, but couldn't live without a sami auto. First choice when it comes to vermin and goose bashing. Edited July 30, 2012 by hedd-wyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking more £700-£900 mark. I do love the hastan though, and would defiantly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Lampeter shooting supplies have a decent choice of lefties worth a vist if your heading that way ever apart from the Turks can't think of any others except possibly Remington or Winchester 1400 used may be a few more out there Franchi don't nor do browning IIRC, some people are to shoot a RHS ejecting semi from the left shoulder! I tried to try a Leftie Fabarm sometime ago but it didn't work! This was at a dealer open day and the only leftie they had Edited July 30, 2012 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougall Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 ?If you love the Hatson and recommend it why on earth change it?It sounds like it is more rough/knocking about etc..a cheap old Hatson sounds about right or are you just social climbing??!

BerettaSV10 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I do like the Benelli's and it has now become the one that gets picked when I get out. Though I am considering the opposite to you, was thinking of getting a escort for the rough work, the benelli is to good to get damaged when in the rough.

Salop Matt Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Compromise, get the cheaper bennelli like I did, the M2 and i love it ! I personally went for it in complete black but as i say i love it and its never let me down ! Great gun, handles like a dream. Yes there is a bit more recoil than with a gas gun but the comfortec stock soaks it up a dream and is real comfy to use, but regardless of how much more than a gas gun it kicks it will never be the same as a O/U or SXS ! If your ever in the area your welcome to try mine ! Failing that Benelli make Franchie and they are good to, a nice little 20bore franchie would be a great gun on the pigeons and clays !
