Left hand semi-auto shotguns

[rwc101]

My old man is, unfortunately, a southpaw. He has long lamented that there are so few left-handed shotguns out there. He has wanted a semi-auto, preferably 20 gauge, for quite a while. As a woodworker, any gun stocked in plastic is out of the question for him. Such a gun seems to be a unicorn. For 12 gauges, I see the Benelli Montefeltro and Beretta A400, but that's about it. Am I overlooking any hidden gems?

Thanks.

The only other southpaw that comes to mind is the Tristar Raptor

Yeah, and only in synthetic it seems.

The a400 is an outstanding shotgun and the montefeltros are bullet proof and will shoot for a lifetime with only minimal upkeep. Two great choices.

I shoot lefty and the choices are slim. However, when getting ready to pull the trigger on a left handed action semi auto that was a bit pricey, I realized that reloading and working the action is a much easier with a right-handed action semi-auto than a left. Just something to think about.

I'm a lefty and own a benelli sbe, well worth the money. Get the montefeltro.

There's some good deals on used Remington 1100's if you're not opposed to used.

Does Franchi make a wood-stocked lefty?

I have a montefeltro in 20 and it has worked flawlessly for 12 years so far.

No, just plastic. After my dad's experience with his Instinct o/u I doubt he would want another Franchi anyway.

Mossberg autoloader has a tang safety which makes it basically lefty friendly. I would imagine the bolt release and any other buttons may be on the wrong side, but at least the safety wouldn't be.


I have not used the gun personally, so I can't comment on how well it works, but its probably the cheapest option out there as well...

Love my lefty sbe2.... go Benelli!

Looks like FABARM USA makes some. Have to find a dealer though.

I got him the Montefeltro. I might not want to hand it over.
