9mm for a lefty

I just got a CZ 75 P07 DUTY,I'm a southpaw and with the ambi controls and the reversible mag release it seems to do the trick for the price..The other good one for double the $$$$ is the HK P30..note:don't shop at wholesale sports..we call them rip off no sale sports..you will wait a month for your order or they won't have it in stock..
 
To the OP:

Didn't see these pistols mentioned yet.

Bersa Thunder Pro 9mm. Ambi safety, mag release, and slide lock. Been trying to get my hands on one but can't find any Canadian dealers that carry them.

Taurus 24/7 G2. Also fully ambidextrous.

I wouldn't hesitate to grab either of these guns if I wasn't so poor :(

^ I copied this from the CZ-USA website.
CZ85 Combat product description: The CZ 85 Combat adds a fully adjustable rear sight, extended magazine release, drop-free magazine and overtravel adjustment on the trigger. The Combat designation comes from the lack of a firing pin block safety, allowing the replacement of the firing pin without tools.

Ambidextrous features include safety levers, slide stop levers and a reversible magazine release. The lack of a firing pin safety gives the 85 Combat a slight advantage in the trigger pull department, making it a long-time favorite of competition shooters.

I believe it is something they changed on present model 85's from the ealier one's.

True but I haven't seen any of these in Canada yet. Every once in awhile you see the 75B with the new frame but not the 85Combat. The round mag releases are not adjustable the ones like those on the SP-01 are reverseable.

I'd go with a Glock. I'm a convert after years of shunning them. Rock solid reliability and the Gen 4 has an easy mag release reverse, so you can set it up for a lefty. As others have said, a Glock will likely last through enough rounds that you'll have spent the gun's value in ammo 20 times over before it wears out.

Be cautious about assuming that your local gun shop will stock parts for a gun just because they sell it. I'd ask if their gunsmith is qualified to WORK on the gun. That would be the only way I'd let what they local shop has, affect my decision.

Ultimatly, even above ambi considerations, I'd focus on which pistol fits your hand best.
 
I wouldn't even worry about parts. You can get just about every part you need from Brownell's for Glocks and M&P's. As for a qualified gunsmith, these polymer guns are so easy to work on you can do just about everything yourself by punching out 3 pins and YouTube. IMO.

+1. I have stripped my M&P to the bone, replaced stock with competition parts with ease. Guys that know me, know I am about as mechanical minded as a slug.

Based on ergonomics alone try both the M&P and the Glock. Both are about as reliable as a mechanical device can be. You likely will prefer one over the other. Go with the one you prefer.

P99. I don't care for the reversible mag option on some of the other ones listed here. It doesn't help when shooting off-handed. I'm not sure what parts or accessories you'd want but getting a holster isn't a problem.

I'm looking for a full ambi in .45acp.

Agreed, pick the one that fits the best. I have shot both and found that the M&P fits like a glove. Excellent ergonomics and perfect for lefties like myself.
 
I recently picked up an STI GP6 and find that its great for us evil left handed miscreants (have to love the ambidextrous safety on this one). I realize I'm just parroting what other posters have said by this point but its a great (and cheap) gun.
