left handed 1911
5/29/2012 2:50:09 AM
I recently saw, but am not sure where,... a complete left handed 1911. Does anyone know where or who makes this 1911. I have a friend who is wrong handed and is interested. 5/29/2012 3:16:48 AM
Caspian has receivers in stock that work with left handed slides.
That's the good news.
Slide has to be custom ordered and was recently quoted at $2,000.00 to a friend of mine who owns a custom shop. He recently took an order for a custom serial numbered set of matching left and right eject pistols.
I would imagine slide is custom machined from investment grade cast or bar stock. Have to be for that kind of money.

Randall made a few of them.

I had one made by Safari arms. It was left handed down to the magazines. I sold it. It didn't function 100 percent and I couldn't find magazines for it.
Here's a photo of it. Not me shooting.

As a lefty, I think if you have an ambi-safety, the controls of the 1911 are easier to manipulate than for a right-handed person.
Slide stop with the trigger finger. Mag release with the middle finger. Both of these functions can be performed without altering your grip on the pistol.

I agree.
Me too. RIght handed bolt action rifles are really the only things that are a bitch for me as a lefty, everything else has a workaround that is just fine.
Well that, and I won't buy a semi auto handgun with a right handed, frame mounted decock lever like a Sig.

I had a sig 226 and the decocker was easily manipulated by the trigger finger of the left hand.
