superdown---There's five other posts on the LH forum with my name, on a variety of topics.
I believe that letting the RH world know, loud and clear, what problems we face IS constructive. In another post on this forum, a request for a left-handed rifle met with the reply "I'll have to go to the back room. That's where the handicap rifles are". That's the sort of c$%# we face every day. An unpleasant but intelligent man once said "Anything worth saying should be said in an annoying manner, because people will not trouble themselves about that which does not trouble them."
Gee-whiz golly-gosh, I got a new Savage in .300WSM, and it's real nice! It was also one of two left-handed rifles at a large gun show, the other being a used Savage in .300Winchester magnum. I really love the walnut-finished hardwood stock and blue finish. I'd better, 'cause I won't find much else.
Gun makers claim they don't sell enough LH guns to justify much production. Well, when there's very little to choose from, shooters won't buy much.
Highpower matches that require military rifles leave southpaws coping with rifles that are unsafe to shoot left-handed. Why am I not interested in this sport?
Glock pistols have a magazine release button that sits right under my trigger finger when held left-handed. Why haven't I bought a Glock?
And you know, it's not just left-handed people who have a problem. A small but significant percentage of right-handers are left eye dominant, and should be shooting left-handed. My daughter is one, and she'll be getting my southpaw guns, including the .36 flintlock with cast-on stock I made for myself, and the Lyman Great Plains LH flintlock that they no longer catalog.
