Guess it was a longshot. Just tired of living in righty's world, that's all. Would like to have the same advantages and comfort as the average right handed person. Left handed implements are always more expensive, but at 9 percent of the population, we're a specialty crowd. Don't get me wrong, I...

I'm a lefty. Obvious, I guess. While I realize that the Southpaw is a performance piece, suitable for competition and those with deep pockets, the price of this and other lh 1911s (Randall, etc.) begs the question: could a gunsmith offer a lower quote?
