Guys I've got a fever...and the only perscription is a Browning Maxus!!

12 gauge 3 1/2
26" barrel

My only deal is this...I shoot left handed. I have always shot a right handed shotgun (remington 1187)...never really had issues maybe powder in the face every once in a while. Does anyone know if Browning makes a left hand auto in any model or if they have to be ordered?? Never shot a left handed shotgun either...Does anyone have a lefty? If so is it better than a shooting a right hander??

Guess I may have to settle for the right hander in the end...but any opinions etc would be appreciated.

PS - Other obstacle at this point is convincing the wife it is a "neccessity"!!! :cool:

I'm left handed & have shot right handed autos all my life, could be the reason I'm deaf in my right ear! The percussion blows across my face & to my right ear! Never had a problem with it blowing in my face. Just loud in that right ear especially over a number of shots. I make a point to wear ear plugs in that right ear w/ an auto. Left handed models are harder to come by. Usually have to order them, & are normally a $100+ in price.

I too shoot left handed and I use a Benelli Super Black Eagle II. I love it.

I don't know how particular you are about whether it's an automatic or a pump but Browning's BPS ejects out at the bottom so you can shoot either right or left handed. That's what I've been using for about 10 years now and I have zero complaints about it.

The only left handed auto's that I know of is the Benelli SBE or SBE II, which have already been mentioned. Remington makes a left handed 11-87. Benelli also makes the M2 Field and Montefeltro in left handed models.

I'm right handed, but left eye dominant, so I'm shooting left handed too and have the same problem...I'm looking down the barrel and it's slowly going south...:*****: least you ain't got short arms...:help:

Tell her it's for her and ask to borrow it. I shoot often and have always shot right handed weapons, no probs.
