Q: I'm a lefty and shoot left-handed. Any major issues with shooting this GI model without the ambidextrous safety?
Author: Daniel C.
(1) ANSWER
A: No it will not interfere with hand placement. You will have to turn the safety off before shooting but will still have the grip safety. You can always add an ambidextrous safety later down the road if you want.
