Left handed shotgun people shoot right handed guns?

Just go to their site and select Left Hand

All Ithaca Rotoforged barrels are steel friendly.  The older open choke ones pattern great with steel.  The newer barrels are a bit heavier, but can take chokes.  Ithaca 37 was the very first steel guaranteed barrel and it takes five minutes to swap out the safety.  They have always been available. 

I use 37s in the field, but get her what she wants.

Not a semi, Browning BPS bottom ejects

An absolutely fantastic gun to shoot. If she can manage the 870 pump, she'll appreciate the BPS action, IMO it is much cleaner.

If she really wants an auto loader, check out Beretta. Berettas are gas operated and not inertia driven, my experience with both I don't have an inertia. They have much more recoil, I know the ads and shooters say no, I've dumped 5 of them due to recoil.

The 870 of the o/u world is the Browning Citori.   

Beretta is great too though.  I have a Browning Cynergy that I am very fond of also.  For what you describe I'm going Browning or Beretta.  They are bombproof.

Excellent.  Thank you!

3 of the Citori’s here, all in 16 gauge. Great guns. Just keep weeds out of the action!

I think we'll probably look at the Beretta's.  She isn't a fan of the Browning logo.    I tried to talk her out of that but then realized I don't like Mossberg's.  I'll look at the Citori!  I had a BPS10 and loved it.

Beretta makes the 693 Vittoria for women.   Might be hard to find.  A proper women's gun has entirely different stock dimensions than a men's gun.  It's probably going to take some work (ie money, time, effort) to get a gun to really fit properly.  Once you do get it right though she will shoot accurately and comfortably.  A lot of women have to "make do".  Shooting isn't  as fun as it should be.
  When mommas happy everybody's happy.

Does she know there is a doe's head inside the bucks silhouette  of the logo??🤔

I’m left rye dominant, don’t own one left handed gun.   Never had a issue in 49 years. 

Left handed guns actually feel weird.   

 

I believe it boils down to what you practice with and what you are use to, or what you are comfortable with.

If there was real science behind why left eye dominant should not shoot right hand weapons, it would have been documented years ago.

Have said that, making her comfortable while shooting is in your benefit.

As a left handed, left eye dominant person that shot right handed guns for years because of all the normal reasons.  If you can afford the lefty buy it.  Made the switch to left handed guns 10 years ago and I haven't turned back yet.  Yes the selection sucks sometimes but you can usually find one that works.  Buy her which ever one she likes.  Happy wife in the field with you is way better than one mad at home alone.

Something to think about if your considering an O/U or a bottom eject Pump Like a BPS, Unless that gun is made for a Left handed shooter the cast will be off. All shotguns are casted for right hand shooters ( most popular) unless marked LH . In other words a right hand gun wont fit right shooting left handed. They may look the same but they are not.

This is absolutely the critical point in my estimation. If nothing else, research and look for a shotgun that has (at least) a neutral cast. It's becoming easier to get around this issue with modern shotgun stock adjustability, but it's still an issue to think about. If you hunt with vintage shotguns like I do it's important. I am right handed but left-eye dominant and I have learned to shoot off my left should over many years, but it still doesn't "feel right" when I mount my shotgun and I know that is probably the right cast in many of my shotguns. I can make it work, but I'm still considering a stock-bending with one or more of my guns (becoming a lost art).

On the bottom ejection/side ejection issue, I have never, ever, been bothered by empty hulls being ejected across my face with my pumps or semi-autos. You face is down on your stock so you really don't seem them.

Ithca model 37 I gre up shooting trap with a winchester model 12 my dads friend that was a left handed shooter  made us a deal on a model 37 T ejects out the bottom he was worried because shooting reloads if something malfunctioned my dominate eye would be toast. I still have the old tusty model 37 just had to restock it cause my dad shortened it when I was 5.
