Looking for a lightweight left handed semi 20ga shotgun for wife.

Recommended Posts

I took the wife out shooting this past weekend. She really enjoyed Sporting Clays. She was using my AL48 and loved it. So now I'm looking for a left-handed shotgun that she can handle. I have only really found one lightweight gun which is by Legacy Sports and it's an Escort Supreme Magnum. 26" barrel 14" length of pull and 6.5#. Didn't know if anybody else knew of anything I'm missing. Not looking for double barrel or to spend a ton. But suggestions would be great. And if anybody owns an Escort please let me know what you think of them.

CZ makes a semiautomatic youth size 20 gauge. I don't know if it comes in a left side eject model. I used this gun to train a bunch of women to shoot clays. It's a nice shooter, easy, little recoil.

I shoot left handed and have used right handed guns all my life. (50+ years) Never a problem. In fact, I feel that I protect the trigger better while hunting due to my hand wrapping around it to push the safety with my finger. I could see and issue with a bolt action if you need a quick follow up shot.

Just sayin you dont "have" to have a dedicated lefty gun.

May I suggest a Saiga 20 guage. I am a lefty shooter and I have owned several saiga rifles and shotguns. The shells all eject at the 130-3 o'clock position. Only issue is the trigger pull. Which can be fixed with a little bit of polishing which you can do yourself. The magazine fed system is another great feature. As for chokes and such, they make choke adapters to use win chokes. Plus it has 2 gas systems so you can use it for many different loads.

My wife is very small and has an Escort 20 ga semi. It's a small gun...I think it might even be a youth model. We put a thick rubber butt pad on it and it's a good length for her and she's comfortable with it. Never had any trouble with it either.
