Shotguns for southpaws

The Benelli Mancino is indeed a fine s/a, but a trifle on the punchy side with some shells. Since fitting a mercury-filled recoil reducer (from the States) it seems milder.

 

On the other hand, my now ancient L/H Remington 1100 is a dream to shoot.

 

I believe G. Bate (Stafford) have a s/h l/h specimen with a spare barrel.

I take it the L/H 1100's are no longer in production?

There was a Remi 1100 for sale on here the other day, cant remember if it was left hand drive or not,

 

the add said it was nearly new though.

 

Do a search on Remmi 1100, it will be worth it as I have one and Its a great bit of kit, I am a righty but have

 

got it for loan/coaching.

Jim,

The new Remington s/auto is BOTTOM EJECTION so it doesn't matter if you are left or right-handed. The safety can be changed by pushing out a pin and reversing the stud. This is the way to go.

 

OR,

 

If you want a slide-action (or 'pump' to the Chavs and Rambos) the 1960's vintage Ithaca Model 37 is also bottom ejection.
