Any leftys use a right handed pump shotgun?
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.

RE: Any leftys use a right handed pump shotgun?
I shoot lefthanded but hunted with a righthand 870 for years, the ejecting shell is never going to hit you in the face but it is a little distracting seeing it whiz past. I now use a Browning BPS pump, it has bottom eject, it also has a habit of jamming on a regular basis...I almost threw it in the creek this dove season. I would look for an Ithica 37 for a left handed son.
