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.
