Title: Ambedextrious Semi Auto Pistol Recomendations.
Post by: Special T on January 09, 2014, 04:16:48 PM: I once had a Ruger P89 in 9mm that i really liked and made the mistake of selling it. :bash: I really liked it because the Mag eject, safety/de cocking lever were all Ambi. I mostly shoot south paw but can shoot either right or left handed (I'm equally uncoordinated! ;) ) I missed a deal on here from a member here on a p 85 same basic design. What USED weapon should i look for? I prefer 9mm I don't really want to spend $5-600 on a new gun. I prefer full size and 9mm What say you?

What ever you do, get a feel for it, make sure you are comfy with the pistol.

If I was to buy a gun off looks alone, I would never own a glock, but in my hands they are very comfortable. Every one is different so try before you buy no matter what it is.

Post by: Heredoggydoggy on January 09, 2014, 09:48:55 PM: Look for an FNX-9. It comes with 3 17 Round magazines, and 4 backstraps, and is completely ambidextrous with a decocker, and single/double action, and for a full size pistol, is remarkably compact. I like mine so much that when an FNP-40 came available, I sold my XD-40, and then sold my XD-45 and bought an FNX-45. FNH just came out with the FNS series of striker-fired pistols, but being old-school, I like a hammer on my pistols. :twocents:

I believe you can ambi the mag release, but I have gotten used to the stock ones. Glock is a good choice for and lefty too. All the others mentioned work as well. It's just a matter of choice.
