Another lefty who is happy with my Raven 9 Platinum. I had the FX-9 for quite a while, and while I was getting a fair bit of that, it wasn't intolerable. Nice black smudge mark on the right forearm after a match day.
Best PCC for lefty?

You need an actual LH Ar safety. I got a couple LH safeties from Stag Arms a few years ago for my JRs. Or get an ambi safety. It only takes about 2 minutes to remove the grip, slide the safety in and you’re good to go.

Or just let people looking for actual ambi controls do so, it’s like you have Stockholm syndrome from all those years of rh abuse lol. We get it you don’t see any advantage to anything LH on a gun.
I made no comment about ambi safeties. My comment was on turning the RH safety around to the left side, which then renders the safety unsafe because it does not click into a detent and simply spins freely.
I have no issues with ambi controls on firearms. I just think that LH firearms themselves are pointless.
I have a few ambi safeties on guns, where they are available and practical. The only ones I have not applied an ambi safety to, that I probably could, are my AR15's because I have no issues with the OEM safety. The Canadian Forces did not offer ambi safety on the C7 rifle when I served, so I became used to manipulating the OEM lever.
As was pointed out in another thread, I am a TOTAL HYPOCRITE because I do have a LH flintlock. Shoot a flintlock off the wrong shoulder and you will understand why. I also have an X95 converted to LH ... for obvious reasons. I tried to start with a Keltec RDB, for its fully ambidextrousness, but sadly that rifle failed me and so the next choice was the X95.
Just Right Carbine...you can change the discharge port to left or right...I shoot left,and I have an brass catcher on it too, works well.
So you have a LH flinter, you have a LH bullpup, and yet you still feel it necessary to tell everyone how LH guns are pointless.
So I guess your reasons for liking THOSE LH guns are somehow more valid than the reasons other people like LH bolt guns, ppcs, etc? Glad you're willing to own the hypocrisy at least.
I'm interested to hear his reasons.
I do think some types of firearms are more or less "necessarily" right or left handed (like the flintlock and side eject bullpup examples). Whereas some other types of firearms are merely "more ergonomic" if they can be made right or left handed (like some types of gassy semiautos, or those with reciprocating charging handles in awkward locations).

"You entered a form titled, "Pistol Calibre Carbines ( PCC)" and then asked, what a PCC is? Really? WTaF?" Do you mean a forum or "form". Also, your thread came up under New Posts - so I thought I'd have a look at it. I trust it didn't cause too much trouble for you to answer.
The X95 is not a LH rifle. It can be converted to LH operation but it can be converted back to RH just as easily. Can't say that about a purely LH firearm.
It's not a matter of "liking" a LH operating bullpup, it's kind of a requirement unless I want to get hot brass in the teeth with each shot. There is no requirement for lefties to use LH conventional firearms. Your argument is a silly attempt to "own" me.
As I've said already, I started out w an RDB but that rifle had a serious flaw, which is why I went to the RDB.
As lefties, we live in a RH world, that is not about to cater to our specific needs, nor should we expect it to. There is no reason we cannot adapt and overcome to the world we live in. We are not, or at least should not be, whiney progressive types that need the world to cater to us.
LH firearms are way more difficult to find, can be more expensive, and are way more difficult to sell because of the much smaller pool of potential buyers. Parts will suffer from the same problems of reduced supply and increased price.
Refusing to adapt to the right handed shooting world also eliminates the experience of so many interesting and historical firearms. Think of all the milsurps one cannot shoot because of a refusal to shoot off the "wrong" shoulder.
I don't care one bit, if someone chooses to buy a LH firearm. All I'm saying is there is no need to do so and IMO it is pointless.
The x95 is absolutely a left hand rifle if its set up for LH use, it can be either a LH or RH gun depending. The RDB could also be considered both a left hand and right hand gun, although its ALWAYS both.
You seem to know a lot about the buying and selling of LH guns for someone who claims to have never bought one.
There is no need to own guns unless you are a sustenance hunter, and even then there is no need to own 99% of the guns available on the market. Good thing life isn't based on needs alone.
There is a big difference between refusing to shoot a RH gun, and wanting a LH gun. Ian from Forgotten Weapons is a lefty, doesn't stop him from collecting historical firearms. But when he buys a hunting rifle, its set up for a lefty. I suspect a lot of us think the same way. I've got LH guns, I also have RH guns that I use regularly.
You know, you could just learn to be right handed. Its a right handed world after all. Adapt and overcome.

You always come into threads like these and basically shít on anyone looking for a LH version or alternative as if we all haven’t been shooting rh guns for the majority of our lives. Put it into perspective, most of us likely have way more rh guns than LH guns. Me for example, out of three safes of pews I own 2 dedicated LH rifles. I say dedicated because I’m not looking at rh guns with some ambi controls as LH guns.
Some of us don’t really care if they are more expensive or harder to find, I could care less about buyer pool size or resale values as I don’t sell guns. As to missing out on the experience of shooting rh milsurps lol, that’s what I’ve been shooting for years or hunting with so I’m not missing out on anything.
You must get some kick out of telling the us southpaws how unnecessary anything LH is and how we just need to adapt to the rh world, we’ll news flash we’ve heard it since elementary school or from every right hander on jobsites etc. Maybe the world should cater to us more, maybe if more southpaws said they wanted some LH version we’d have more options instead of just settling for the inferior version.
WE are like 15% of the population. Why should 85% cater to the 15%?

You're not accounting for left eye dominant shooters in those stats, are you?
I happen to be right handed, I just shoot long guns with my left hand due to eye dominance.
Did you end up getting something?
I'm in the market for a Lefty PCC now myself, made me think of this thread...
No press release that I could find. From photos, the differences appear to be weight, streamlined receiver, threaded muzzle, and the fact that it's been vapourware for a while (can't remember when I first saw the "coming soon" page). Looks like they're in the US now. Not in Canada yet, let's hope they will make a NR version...
