Title: Any Lefties shooting a Sig P238?
Post by: jimonfly on March 09, 2011, 02:46:34 PM
I've heard there are issues with the trigger finger hitting the slide lock while shooting left-handed.  Anyone have firsthand experience shooting this pistol left-handed, good or bad?

I can't picture how that would be an issue.  Unless someone has a really funky grip.

As a lefty, I have had to adjust to more than just a right handed dominant plethora of firearms. (Amongst other things),...However, those things have to be overcome.

If there are issues, it's not with the firearm. Especially a Sig Pistol. They don't make firearms for a southpaw market,...like others,....

A good shooter, who finds a firearm that works whether a PPK/S,, or otherwise a "righty" firearm, has to simply adapt to the ergonomics of the pistol.

Hence, the Natural Superiority Of The Left Hander,....We overcome and adapt. ;D

Change of grip? Not every grip will work on every pistol, especially a lefty.....

Not trying to stroke your ego Tom but you're correct in that, lefties tend to use both sides of their brain more equally than us righties and adapt more readily.

Check the stats on left handed batting averages vs. right handed among other stats...
