Hi,
I know this may no belong here but because I know some of you have closets full of guns, I going to ask anyway. I am looking for a 20 gauge semi for my left handed daughter to hunt over our two GSP's this season and bust some clays.
Thanks

Big money http://www.gunbroker.com/item/578244064Little money http://www.gunbroker.com/Item/579090931Me?? I would get the little money gun and have her shoot the heck out of it and get used to it You can always upgrade later and if she scratches or drops the inexpensive gun, well OK Mike

 I would love for her to have a rem 1100 since that's what I started with. I think I'm just going to take her out and let her shoot all of my doubles. Each one has it's own personality. I have a Merkel 147, a Parker, an L.C. Smith and a Browning BSS all in 20 bore. I like them all on any given day. She shot her sisters 11-87 and really liked it.

A lot of left handers just shoot right handed guns and not worry much about it. You might give her a try at a right handed gun. She might not care that the empty in flying across her vision. New is new and she might just get use to it without problems. You can fix the safety issue.  http://www.midwayusa.com/product/463939/...-870-1100-11-87This is a left handed safety to install for a lefty to shoot a right handed 1100. Easy to install and works great. When I was getting over my severe flinching problems I used one of these on my right handed 1100 while I shot it left handed. The empty was not that big of a deal to me and I could operate the safety left handed.

I am left handed,and have never owned a left hand repeater. I have shot most makes of RH automatics, and the only ones that gave me any problems were 1100's because they spit gas and unburned powder back in my face. For hunting or limited clay target shooting, I prefer a pump gun because it doesn't care what loads you use, heavy or light. It doesn't take very long to get used to operating a pump gun - a few rounds of skeet should make anyone proficient, and it doesn't matter whether it is right or left handed, so long as the safety is set up correctly.

You can fill in the gas escape slots on the 1100 fore end and direct the gas out the front of the fore end by drilling hole in it. I did this on several 1100's with fair results. Most, but not all the gas was directed out the front of the gun. You do need to make sure you don't extend your hand too far. The gas is hot, but wont burn you. It will scare the heck out of you.
