Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles any southpaws shooting ARs?

I agree with Barry. If I could only own 1 of my AR's (heaven forbid), I would keep a righty. Buy with, or add a ambi. safety and call it a day.

I use brass catchers at the range, but the lefty would be a good way to "rain" brass back at any jerk to your left that is "raining" brass at you. I've never done this (cause I'm not a butthole), but I've thought about it :-). -Tom

Righty, but I shoot lefty for training.

Never had any issues, really. Malfunction drills are a little awkward, but I prefer to keep the manual of arms stock so I can pick up any old AR and have my training apply.

Just get a Left Hand AR and be done with it .

I have to agree, if your wrong handed get one that fits.

FWIW, you can manipulate a normal AR safety with your left index finger, or do the thumb-broken grip and use your thumb.

Yes, there's several ways to get around it IF you have to.

I see no need to put up with a gun that's backwards for you when there are viable options out there.

For me, I like standard manual of arms. You won't be thrown off super bad if you ever have to/want to pick up a stock AR and shoot.

I built a lefty .223 for my lefty son. He liked it so much that when I asked him if he wanted a lefty bolt rifle or a lefty 6.8 upper for his AR, he chose the new upper instead of a whole new rifle.

First time out, first buck, one shot, ran 35 yards and dropped.

I'm left handed, and have never owned a left handed gun, except for a Thompson Renegade muzzleloader. I don't like the cap snapping right in my face.

I own and shoot ARs, M1 carbines, a Mini 14, and a myriad of bolt and lever rifles, and various pistols and revolvers. I've never had a problem. I would find a left handed gun just as awkward as most any right handed person.

I understand that a Smith and Wesson Sport is a hard rifle to beat for the money, and is quite a bit below your budget. This leaves more money for ammo, optics, etc.

Stag guns are NOT left handed guns. They eject to the left but the control are right handed.

The only TRUE LEFT HAND AR made in you price range is the RRA LAR-15LH Lef-t guns.
