Going Left handed as primary side

[Jason8]

I should also clarify that when I mean getting a good eye relief I simply mean knowing where to rest your face - feels weird cocking your head to the other side. I dunno if your post was related to mine at all

No mate, just my two penneth. I remember back in the late 70's my father (who has incorrection in his left eye) demonstrated his inability to aim left side with a PPK, when he was explaining it to me.

Literally every shot high and right by about 2 inches.

You're not wrong. Getting the right eye relief with your other hand can be hard sometimes, but it gets quite easy after a bit. It seems to pay to be able to switch hands depending on cover anyway - saved me a bunch of times I'm fairly certain.

Aye. People look at me strangely when swapping arms to aim when, 'peaking' on the oposite side to my natural right. To me it makes more sense to show less of your body when leaning the corner right? Suppose previous experience shooting means I find it easy to shoulder and find the correct positioning/eye relief on either side

Yep, I'll still be swapping for corners, but other that. I have found that I do have some problems reloading, can barely support the weapons weight (lol), and my trigger discipline is lacking - made worse by the shape of the receiver.

Have you considered selling up and getting an ambitious gun?

My gun has started refusing to come to skirmishes and is now studying hard to retake its A-levels so it can get the UCAS points for a Russell group university. I can sell you it if you'd like?

As a lefty I use a right handed gun its not all that bad or I dont notice how bad it is because I cant see anything because I also wear glasses and am still working on the fogging issue...
