Default RE: South Paw Turkey Guns?

If you like pump shotguns, I'd strongly recommend the Browning BPS. It's a bottom ejector, ejecting the empty shells through the loading port on the bottom of the reciever. This feature makes it completely ambidexterous. It's also got an easy to use tang safety that it also ambidexterous, so it's just about the perfect magazine-fed shotgun for lefties. I believe that they make a turkey version of the BPS as well.

My BPS would throw the shells about 3' in front of my feet when pumped standing up. I would imagine that this would make them popular in a crouded duck blind since it won't bounce shells off your buddies face! It'd also be a nice feature if you collect hulls to reload (which I don't). The only downside (which might not even be a downside depending on your perspective) is that the BPS's are heavier than other similar pump-guns, mostly because they still have a lot of steel in them and they don't have a separate ejection port in the side. I loved my BPS and regret having to sell it.
