That is sad. A LH upper is a joy comparatively to fire. I shoot Lefty exclusively with rifles. I use right handed ones when I have to.I'm a lefty and have never shot a left-handed firearm.

I have several scars from brass that seared the skin on the forearm. I prefer not worrying about that.Nah. I've been shooting since I was 8 and never have had any desire to get into left handed firearms. I can't remember the last time I took brass to the face or otherwise. Shoot I don't even switch the mag catches on my Glocks.
I also use LH uppers for ARs save PCCs. Saves on burns.

Did qualifying on the L85 mean firing one round and saying "It's broken!" ?
All of the Brits I served alongside overseas hated their L85's and Land Rovers. We offered to trade them our crappy underpowered up armored humvees.
Well. A few other manufacturers make Lefty parts. I have stuff from stag, tromix, and several others? I have no qualms with the stag stuff though. And I keep backup parts.I wouldn't want to be married to Stag parts, especially the major components.
I'm in the middle of convincing myself to buy more premium "fighting" rifle and at the same time, a bullpup. Here's the problem: I'm left handed and every video I see, they're all shot.... wait for it.... from the right side, like 90%of the population would also do. No surprise. The concern is eating a mouthful of hot brass every time I shoot as it almost looks like the ejection port would be covered by their jaw. I the model that really catches my eye is the X95, in ODG ideally. I've thought about getting a kel-tec RDB because the ejection port would be a non issue but I don't want to spend 4 figures or so for a gun held together by general store hardware so that's probably not gonna go in my safe. Does anyone have much experience shooting bullpups from the left side? Is brass-to-mouth a problem? Are there good ways to remedy this? Am i just wasting my time on a rifle not made for my people? Not terribly interested in the $500 premium for a left hand specific model on the X95. Thoughts and comments welcome
Were you blowing raspberries at the target when this happened? Don't think I've ever had my tongue outside my mouth while shootingI got to shoot a Tavor in left handed configuration. Im a righty. I got a brass burn on my tongue. I dont envy you lefties. Firearms world is not friendly to you.
I had brass in my mouth! It went in, burned my tongue and went right back in the gun and jammed things up. Not sure why I had my mouth open but I was apparently catching files....and brass!Were you blowing raspberries at the target when this happened?

Not usually! I have no idea what happened other than I had hot brass in my mouth. I occasionally do Darwin Award level things.Forgive me for asking, but you're not one of these folks who breathes breath through the mouth, are ya?

There are many youtube videos by Ian and also in-range dealing with this exact issue, including lots of discussion on specific bullpup models in terms of how left-handed friendly they are. I think everything you would want to know is in those.I'm in the middle of convincing myself to buy more premium "fighting" rifle and at the same time, a bullpup.
