Do left-handed shooters really need to select guns that are specifically designed for them? Deryck Poole of Echo-5 Training has a few firearms on hand that he uses to discredit this myth.

    I’ve never swapped the mag release button even when I could because I don’t want to have to think about it. On AR’s & such though, the charging better be right side & the casings better not be hitting me in the lip.

    In my experience there are some handguns that a lefty can’t easily use, the classic 1911 and the Sig P220 with right-hand only safeties top my list. I’ve found that the S&W M&P series of pistols are very easy for left-handed shooting. Considering the numbers of hand injuries that occur in defensive situations, in my opinion all personal defense handguns need to be as ambidextrous as possible.
