 I've shot them a whole bunch, and I like the heck out of mine. It's a little odd to get used to working with a bull pup, but I think the advantages (maneuverability, especially in and around vehicles, ease of carry, etc.) outweigh the disadvantages. Gabe Suarez has done a lot of work with bull pups, and I'd have to say he's the go-to guy at this point. The trigger isn't bad (better than the Steyr AUG and the FS-2000, a gun I almost bought, but it will be MUCH MUCH better with the Gieselle or Timney replacement!

I want to do a carbine class with mine later this year. Mine is topped with a Lucid red dot sightm BTW...inexpensive and really nice!

They make a left-handed version.

You can also purchase a bolt to convert the standard models to left-hand use.  They were at the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, PA.  Local company.

Woke up thinking about this as a primary gun, something we can use in the house as well as something I could use in 3-Gun or Carbine matches.  Bonus time is coming soon and its this, one of JP's rifles, Larue, Stag's 3G or Barnes Precision.  I'll probably put a Burris MTAC on  whatever I get or maybe a Leupold 1.5-4 MK AR.

 I've always liked the looks of bullpup rifles and shotguns. At around $2000 msrp I would need to sell a few safe queens.
