Title: SA LH 12ga. for doves, pheasants, ducks
Post by: supermatt9 on October 07, 2012, 10:40:56 AM: Hey guys, I'm new to the forum but I've been lurking around for a while. Seems like a great place filled with knowledgeable people.

I'm looking for a left handed, semi auto 12Ga. for shooting ducks, pheasants and doves. I don't shoot much else besides those. I'd like to stay around $1000 give or take $200.

I've been looking at the sx3 but from what I understand it didn't come in a lh version (but at least the safety is reversible).

Any other good recommendations out there? Also, should I go with a 26" or 28" barrel?

Thanks!

You're more than welcome to shoot my right handed SX3 and see how it feels. I know some RH guns are better than others for lefty shooters. just my :twocents:
