I shoot a shotgun alot and have shot alot of different shotguns.
A benelli M2 is a great all around shotgun which can be had in a left hand configuration . Me personally i havent seen the need for 3.5" 12 ga.
All that being said, I shoot right handed 870's, Browning A5, Browning Citoris
I can work the safeties and operate them easily.
I've pretty much went exclusively 20 ga, except I kept my old Magnum 12 ga. wingmaster.
I shoot sporting clays with a citori CXS 20 ga, I hunt turkeys with a 870 express youth 20 ga. (this is the handiness shotgun in the world). My field guns are a Browning A5 light 20 with a fixed I.C. barrel and a 870 20 ga light magnum with a 26" remchoke barrel.
I rarely duck hunted, but when i did i used a M2 20 gauge.
Since switching to all 20 ga. for hunting and shooting i haven't noticed a drop in scores or a lack of killing.
The guns are lighter and handy and you don't get beat up by recoil.
Hey RCer,
Did you know you can turn a right handed Remington safety around to function left handed? That’s what I did on my 1100 before, like you, I bought a LH Benelli M2.
