5 Best Left-Handed Pistols For Southpaws 2022
Finding the best pistol for left-handed shooters is quite interesting these days.
In the past, gun owners only had to deal with a single button, and the operation of the
guns was the same in both hands.
These days, shooters can have a plethora of options, especially when it comes to compatibility.
A significant number of guns today are designed to accommodate southpaws.
Some of them even have ambidextrous systems and controls so that both right and left-handed
users can efficiently fire them.
This means that the safety levers, cylinder latches, and slide stops of these guns are
accessible by the left thumb also.
But of course, you need to be quite specific when it comes to these left-handed pistols.
What you want is something that could give you utter convenience and stability in firing.
And that's where I come in.
Hello everyone.
This is Bodhi from Click Clack.
And in this video, we have listed the best left-handed pistols for southpaws this 2022.
If you are a leftie, this video is just for you!

Now, let's get back to the video!
CHARTER ARMS SOUTHPAW It's not a new thing anymore that many left-handed
shooters enjoy using revolvers, given that the controls of these guns suit the needs
of southpaws.
But at the same time, conventional revolvers aren't that foolproof.
After all, you still need to change your hands so that you can open their cylinders.
Even if you are a lefty, that mechanism would still annoy you.
Fortunately, that problem is fixed with the Charter Arms Southpaw.
From its name alone, you can already know that it is suitable for left-handed shooters.
In fact, even Charter Arms claim that this weapon is the very first left-handed revolver.
This .38 Special Southpaw revolver shares similar qualities with the Charter Arms Undercover
Lite.
Of course, the key difference between the two is that the cylinder release of the Southpaw
is on the right side, enabling left-handed shooters to reload more quickly and efficiently.
By the way, the Charter Arms Southpaw is a single / double-action snub nose revolver.
It features a five-shot cylinder and features enough firepower to deal with threats.
It has excellent stability, but you should deal with its recoil, even if it is a compact
handgun.
It weighs roughly 12 ounces and embodies an aircraft-grade aluminum frame.
It is also equipped with black synthetic grips, two-barred fixed sights, a traditional spurred
hammer, and hammer block safety.
CZ P-07 This one deserves a spot on this video due
to its safety configuration being convertible to decocking.
Of course, its controls remain to be ambidextrous so that both right and left-handed shooters
can efficiently wield this firearm.
Specifically, the CZ P-07 also features the patented Omega trigger system of CZ.
This allows the users to either utilize a manual safety or a decocking lever.
This particular feature enables you to bring the pistol with its hammer down so that you
can have a double-action first shot.
But at the same time, you are also free to have it via a "cocked and locked" style, which
is pretty similar to the conventional 1911.
Surely enough, such a feature is definitely appealing because we all know that 1911 handguns
are exceptionally great.
And having a 1911 quality in a left-handed pistol is something that you don't see every
day.
This pistol arrives with a 15 + 1 capacity with a barrel length of 3.7 inches.
Hence, this concealed carry firearm should still give you enough loads to deal with threats.
The presence of interchangeable backstraps and an integrated 1913 Picatinny rail on its
dust cover enables the CZ P-07 to accommodate the needs of its users.
I can say that the CZ P-07 isn't the best handgun for left-handed shooters.
However, it is a great choice if you are looking for a hammer-fired pistol instead of a handgun
that uses polymer-framed striker units.
BERETTA APX CENTURION Another impeccable southpaw handgun that you
should consider is the APX Centurion from Beretta.
It features superb ergonomics and superb grip so that you can use it as conveniently as
possible.
It is a pleasure to wield, whether you are a left-handed or a right-handed shooter.
Its reversible magazine release and ambidextrous slide catch are among the things that would
certainly catch the attention of lefties out there.
Specifically, the APX Centurion is a product of Baretta's attempt to create a military
service pistol.
That's why it has a chambering of .40 S&W.
While it is true that it did not go well against the Sig P320, this firearm still deserves
some recognition, as well.
It is easy to shoot, durable and features one of the finest striker triggers on today's
gun market.
Of course, I am aware that the APX Centurion isn't exactly ideal for concealed carry.
It is somewhat bulky, after all.
However, if you are a southpaw with a larger hand, you will appreciate that this one is
on the burly side of things.
This handgun arrives with a 10+1 flush fit magazine that is also compatible with full-size
variants for this gun.
Similar to other guns here, the APX Centurion is meant for tactical and law enforcement
uses.
It meets their need for a slightly compact pistol with similar handling qualities as
their duty handguns.
It has an in-depth focus on ergonomics, which can be seen on its low bore axis, aggressive
slide serrations, and ambidextrous slide catch.
It also has a trigger pull of around 6 pounds, which has an audible reset and clear tactile.
Interestingly, it also comes with a removable serialized chassis, which you can modify to
accommodate aftermarket grip frame housings.
HECKLER & KOCH VP9 Heckler & Koch is a reputable manufacturer
of various pistols designed to cater to every southpaw shooter out there.
The HK VP9, widely known as the people's pistol, is a striker-fired, polymer-framed semi-automatic
9mm firearm.
Even though it is called the people's pistol, this gun is made for tactical applications.
It is true that Glock was credited for the first striker-fired handgun.
However, Heckler & Koch already have made these striker-fired handguns a decade earlier
than Glock in the form of the HKVP70.
The VP9 is the modern continuation of the VP70, and there are many aspects about this
gun that I certainly enjoy.
Of course, one of them is its accommodation of left and right-handed shooters, which is
pretty much apparent with its ambidextrous controls.
However, one of the first features that you'll notice from this gun is its magazine catch.
Typically, handguns have a magazine catch that uses a horizontally sliding button.
If you are a left-handed shooter, you need to flip the magazine catch if you want to
access it.
In the HECKLER & KOCH VP9, the magazine catch is a paddle placed on the back of its trigger.
You can press it with the thumb or index finger of either of your hands.
At the same time, it is only the magazine catch of the VP9 that is ambidextrous.
This pistol also includes a second slide stop on its right side so that your left hand can
access it.
The HECKLER & KOCH VP9 has aggressive charging serrations with a slide that features charge
supports for enhanced traction.
These charge supports have a fin-like construction that protrudes from the slide's rear; they
provide extra contact face.
GLOCK G19X 65 COYOTE The Glock G19X is a member of the Glock 19
group, which is a reliable line of concealed-carry pistols in the gun market.
This particular handgun, regardless of what model you pick, is a tested-and-tried weapon
of military and law enforcement personnel in many countries.
In short, this gun also works well in tactical applications because of its consistency and
accuracy.
For self-defense purposes, you'll never have to worry about this handgun.
This little beat is rated to work smoothly even after a thousand rounds.
Furthermore, this piece of machinery features the combination of the Glock 17 frame and
Glock 19 slide so that any shooter can use it in various situations and conditions.
Its coyote finish is accompanied by an nPVD slide coating so that it will be impervious
to corrosion.
It also has additional features such as the patented GLOCK Marksman Barrel, ambidextrous
slide stop levers and lanyard loop, and the absence of finger grooves.
This pistol also comes with a 17-round magazine, a two 17+2-round magazine, and a durable pistol
case.
The loading mechanism of the Glock G19X is seamless, ensuring that you can fully utilize
it in tough situations.
By the way, it has excellent firing power and accuracy.
It can quell threats with ease.
I also like that its trigger pull is balanced; it is not too heavy or too light either.
Meanwhile, its rear night sight provides decent visibility in low-light conditions.
Again, that's a testament that this southpaw pistol is for tactical applications.
Its recoil is pretty much manageable, as well.
And that completes our list.
