I really thought that when I went to see "SANTA" that he would be able to get a 870 JR Express in a left handed model. Right now he is useing a single shot but I want him to hunt with the pump and shot trap with me and my father-in-law. I do not see a big problem. I have had to switch and shoot left handed in two situations and when I ejected the shell it just few in front of my face but not to hit my face.
