Why Doesn't Benelli Make A Left Hand 20ga

[rehh]

No M2 20ga............. or any 20ga Lefty

[WVBenelli]

Maybe because the demand is not there for them to justify putting one into production. Not sure, but this would be my guess:)

I just picked up my M-2 Left-hand a few weeks ago. I would buy a left-hand 20 ga in an instant, but the volume is just not there. Most lefties are content to just use the right-hand version if they want a light weight 20 ga.

As I near retirement, I have learned that life is too short to drink cheap beer(thanks, Warstiner!) and life is too short to shoot guns you aren't happy with. That is why I have traded several guns lately to get the ones I wanted in the first place. I now have 11 left-hand long guns, and at least three that qualify as ambidextrous. If the 12-15% of the population that is left-handed would demand left-handed guns, then maybe the market would respond. Until then, we will have to be happy with what the manufacturers feel like sending us.

I try not to buy any right handed guns, have SBE II Lefty already, it's a dedicated turkey gun, looking to buy a couple more for wing shooting and wanted a 20ga. Been using Browning Citori O/U's

rehh, my take on this follows the same reasoning benelli doesn't make a 10gauge SBE2....they would only sell one each of them! I'd buy the 10 and you'd buy the 20 lefty!

 

seriously, the only 20 gauge lefty (autoloader) I know of right now is the NEW Remington 1100-G3, looks like a nice little gun if you are one of those guys who use the wrong hand!

The new shotguns at the SHOT Show were: M2 20ga Ultra Light 5.8lb and a Legacy Sport 12ga at 5.8lb. No 20ga LH.

10Gauge - I read your last post about a 20 ga Remington and checked the Remington web site. The only left-hand 1100 G3 shown is in 12 ga. I know Remington did make a true left-hand 20 ga years ago, but they are scarce and I have not seen one. I will check the site again and hopefully find the left-hand 20 ga. Remington stocks don't fit me very well, but if I can get a true left-hand 20 ga, I will make the sacrifice!

Thanks for the info.

 

 

Let me know what you find.

12 and 20 right hand only---please please show me where they make a 1100 G3 20 ga. left hand!!!!!!!

Of course I read very fast.

[shootem]

JUST to make sure I called three different dealers--no 1100 G3 left hand 20. And Remington also made a 870 LH in a 20 ga. I am always a day late on buying one!!!!
