Speaking as a lefty... Don't do it.
Every other shotgun you handle will have a RH safety. Every friend you borrow a gun from, or lend one to, will either have or be used to a RH safety.
It's not as simple as a user installable part (as far as I know), but I know on older 870 trigger groups it IS possible.
I bought a jumbo safety for my benelli m4, and you can install it as LH or RH, and I still install it as RH. Muscle memory is a powerful force to overcome! Just learn to snap the safety off with your thumb as you're shouldering the gun, and it becomes second nature. Re-engaging as you dismount is much easier as well.
That being said, if you REALLY want it done, contact Casey at tacord.com. But seriously consider leaving it as is! Just my humble opinion as a lefty that's owned about a thousand RH shotguns.

i agree .
If you really feel you need to use a safety left handed, then buy a mossberg with a top safety.

Might be a little more important to DISENGAGE the safety in a easy, timely manner.
Seriously though, Midway carries Fortmann drop-in lefty safeties(but won't ship to Canada), or a gunsmith can convert it but involves drilling new holes in the trigger group housing.
I think I saw one at Numrich too, but their 25$ per order fee makes my orders from them a little less often now.
