| what HD possible CCW handgun should I get for my left handed father. 9mm or 40 sw only please |

I'm lefty, and have been an active pistol shooter for 15 years or so. Glocks have been very good to me, without exception. The H&K USP series can be set up to be lefty friendly, also. The mag release is ambi already, and you can swap decock/safety lever to either side of the slide. I have had very little success with 1911 types. Sigs....didn't present much of a problem, I was also able to hit the decock easily with my index finger. Most lefties get used to manipulating the mag release with the index finger, on almost any pistol. Revovlers are nice, until it comes time to reload. Although I have several nice revolvers, I can't really carry one for defense for that reason. Yes, 5-6 shots should be enough, but.... Hope this helps. |

SW M+P. The slide release is ambi and the mag release can be swapped to work lefty. BTW, I am left handed and have no issues shooting right handed guns. It's all in how you do your techneique. My only concession is to put an ambi safety on my 1911 and BHP. Gringop |
| You are forgetting the HK P2000 in LEM. 100% totally ambidextrous and the most comfortable gun I, and many others, have shot. Very accurate, very tough, very easy to totally strip, easy to clean, and very accruate! I'm fond of my HK's, but especially of my P2000. |
