If you’re a southpaw, you share your left-handed dominance with just 10% of the population. Until relatively recently, left-handed gun owners had to adapt to the use of firearms designed almost exclusively for right-handed shooters.
Controls such as slide stops, cylinder latches, decocker/safety levers, magazine catches, and charging handles were only conveniently accessible via the right thumb. In recent years, more companies have decided to meet the needs of left-handed shooters by designing firearms with ambidextrous or bilateral controls.
