Any other southpaws out there? Looking for another compact CC a little more lefty friendly. My VP 9 is an ideal ambidextrous pistol but I want something more compact, with a ambi mag release and slide lock. I like my Springfield XDS as my “warm weather “carry but would really like something more ambidextrous. I’ve been really eyeing the Beretta PX4 storm compact but cannot find anywhere. I know I’m gonna hear from all the Glock people out there about the GEN 5’s but they just don’t feel right in my hands . Looking for other options from anyone out there with ideas/experiences?
Love for Lefties?

Lefty here to but I’m afraid that I can’t help you with you question. I’ve been shooting guns ( handguns and long guns) made for right handed people for so long It’s just second nature now. I’ve learned out of necessity to adapt.

You can swap the mag release on the p365 but not the slide.
You and I both
This has my attention
I was looking at this at first as well, but it seems as if they are no where to be found, and at this point, I have to take that into consideration, just like PX4 stormVp9sk?
I'm looking for one for my next carry piece to replace my G26.
Without a doubt , if I had the chance the HK would be my first pick, followed by the PX4 storm compact, but both seem nonexistent. The CZ Sand W fan proposed is intriguing but I’m not seeing them anywhere either. I’d hate to settle on “what’s available “.
Stop being wrong handed?

The smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 compact and the shield EZ 380 I had were both very left handed friendly. The external safety on both model was ambidextrous and the mag release was easily swappable from right to left handed. The 2.0 compact even had ambidextrous slide release. Supposedly the gen 5 glocks are more lefty friendly but I won’t know for sure until I pick mine up. My Taurus PT1911 came with ambi safety and is fairly lefty friendly for a 1911.

I'm a pretty solid left hander but about twenty years ago I said screw it and started shooting handguns as a right hander. It actually went very smooth and has opened up a market of high quality pistola's that I previously had not considered. Transitioning to long guns is much more difficult, this was cake work.

Everyone is born left handed. You turn right haned when you commit your first sin.
The only left handed gun I have shot I s the Dan Wesson 715/ 714 revolver. The cylinder release is in from to the cylinder, making it perfect for south paws.
Interesting. Which eye is dominant for you?

My youngest is a leftie. When he took his bow hunting course, that's when we found out he was right eye dominant.

Tog, I am right eye dominant. Years ago I tried converting to right hand rifle shooting and while I never felt physically comfortable shooting in that position, off hand iron the bench, what kind killed it for me was that I could not focus my right eye as well, this was with iron sights. Why it is dominant but not as flexible, I have no idea. I have always been a good instinctive archery shooter and attributed it to my right eye being outside the bow so the my natural range finder took over.

I’m actually going to go fondle the M&P tomorrow at my LGS, it’s something I can actually get my hands on

Both are good guns and I did enjoy shooting them. I got rid of the shield ez 380 because the magazines did not work for my carry system. I got rid of the M&P 2.0 compact because I did not care for the split hinged trigger as I did not ever get used to the feel of it. I had debated about swapping out the trigger for an apex but decided against it as I don’t want to be messing with the trigger in my carry pistol. Keep in mind that I am very picky and for the average shooter I am probably being too nit picky. I may down the road get another shield EZ as it was really nice to shoot.
For anyone who gives a shit, I went with the the Walthers PPQ sub compact, (even though it’s not subcompact to me, more like in the middle ). One of the LGS had a decent sale price on their last one and I couldn’t resist. $100 off. Fits my hand like a glove, great reviews, and as close to a VP9SK as I can get without really testing both.
Is it the M1 or M2?
