Using RH semi from left shoulder

Recommended Posts

I want to buy a gas semi and I’m looking at the Winchester SX4 which does not appear to come in a LH version however it has the option to transfer the safety from right to left. Are there any lefties out there that use an RH gun - if so do you experience any with blow back on ejection?

I have shot an Outlander on a few occasions, right handed gun from the left shoulder. Cartridges were kicked well clear of me and no issues with gas ect. Suppose a pair of safety glasses wouldn’t go  amiss just in case 

Thank you for that 👍

Hi 

Ive shot a RH auto from my left shoulder for 25 years without an issue.

I brought a LH Benelli and couldn’t get on with it so reverted back.

I believe this was a leftie shooting a right handed shotgun. Can’t recall the details. Probably a one off.

I am a leftie and have both a benelli 12 left handed and a browning gold 10 right handed. I notice no difference when shooting nor have I for the last four years. I wouldn’t worry about it but wear safety specs if you are worried.

Also a lefty and shot right hand semis for years.

Currently shooting a sx4.

Simple to switch the safety over

From the reviews I understand it comes with a straight stock ie no cast?

Have a 26in x 3.5 chamber Maxus which have used left handed for past 5 seasons without any issues with loads between 1 and 2.5 oz. Had the safety reversed for L H use. A grand gun

Cheers Graham

Yes, my latest did, but shims are a fairly recent ‘add on’.
All the pumps and autos I’ve had in the past have come with a straight stock as far as I’m aware. 

I bought a LH eject Benelli sbe2 12/15 years ago which came with shims
