Maybe they could be persuaded to make a 107mm version for the Canadian market?

I would so be all over one or maybe 2 if they did make 107mm barrel.

Very interesting. If they made a longer barreled version, I'd get one in a second.

Nice, but they are not common items stateside.

Saw a review of one in a US magazine, the author said that he'd just gotten so used to regular revolvers, he found it awkward. Oddly enough, out of the shooters he had test it, it was a righty who liked it best. For a new shooter, who's not really trained themselves to use a regular revolver, it'd likely be a godsend, not having to do everything even more backwards than usual, but most lefty's who've been shooting for a while, have likely adapted to the point, that there's a reason these aren't exactly setting the world on fire down south. And unless it really starts to catch on, they are unlikely to make a special run for us. Most charter arms stuff is prohib unfortunately, if they're going to make a canadian run of guns, they'll likely start with something that is a hotter seller.

Interesting. Its nice to see a left handed revolver in something other than Peacemaker clones or old European military revolvers.

I do hate to burst their bubble but there are many left handed revolvers. Ruger single six immediately popped into mind. While not marketed as such, the loading gate is on the right which technically makes it a left handed gun, as many of the single action wheel guns are. Having said that, good on them for being there with a Double action lefty. Having said that, these have been out for around 3 years already, if we haven't seen them yet, we likely won't.

Ever the optimist, I see.

Beretta made the Restricted Px4, NAA made the Restricted BlackWidow/Earl and Ruger made the 4.2" GP-100.

I'm left handed with many years experience shooting standard wheelguns. For me, it would just feel unnatural to have a cylinder swing out on the right side after all this time....

NAA.
