I am left-handed and I have never shot a left-handed gun in my life. I own a right-handed shotgun ( which i did get the saftey turnde around in), a right-handed .22, and a right-handed bolt action rifle I have never had any problems with any of my guns and as far as the bolt action goes I simply support the rifle with my left hand and bring my right hand to operate the bolt. I would not even think of buying a left-handed gun the next time I go the the store after one.
