RE: left handed guns
I shot a right-handed Remington autoloader for years. The biggest pain was operating the safety. Had to reach around the trigger guard and push it back to take the safety off. I got a BPS several years ago. I love it. I also shot a right-handed bolt for many years. Operating the bolt left handed wasn't a problem for me. There weren't affordable options at the time. Since then, there are a lot of good models in a left-handed configuration. If you have the option, take it.
