The only way you'll have an issue as a "Left Handed" person, is if you believe in your mind that there's such a thing as a left handed or right handed gun. If you tell your brain to shut up, and if you stop listening to people that tell you there's a difference, then you will adapt. You will find the "Best Way" for you to operate the gun. And you will do fine with it. I've been hunting big game with "Right Handed" bolt action guns for more than 30 years. And I can shoot, extract, eject, and chamber the next round, just as fast as any right handed person. Just like I adapted to shooting semi-autos with magazine releases and safeties on the left side. As long as you convince your mind that it's the way it's suppose to be, and you simply have to learn how to use it, and don't let anyone tell you how to use it, then you'll do fine.
