Safety on for reload?! Do you WANT to die?
Great video, man! A lefty thanks you 🙂
Worst problem I have is that as a lefty, the right eye is more dominant, so when using a rifle for target practice I never know which is a better option, my eyes or my comfort… semi-ambidextrous. So now i'm essentially shooting crosseyed. I've noticed that the paras shoot with both eyes open and I've been trying to practice this method using a pistol but it's not the same with a carbine or rifle. any tips?
My left eye has more visibility
Good video. I'm Lefty for writing, tennis and shooting but for whatever reason. Righty for golf,baseball etc.
Funny how life goes, I'm a righty with a dominant left eye.
I prefer right handed AR setups as a left hander. All i need is the ambi charging handle and maybe an ambi safety and im good to go Love this video!!!
As a lefty it almost feels like the ar is a left handed gun anyways. Everything is faster and easier EXCEPT manipulation of the charging handle
I'm left handed and this video helped immensely. Really excited to put my shiny new AR through the paces soon.
The mag should be dropping free while you are getting the fresh mag from your belt.
As a lefty thank you for the tips and no my mother was not a witch 🧙🏼
Some but not all of this works for me. I'm not a typical lefty so I have to further adjust.
Awesome video this is going to help me so much
I shoot lefty and left eye dominanton rifles, but on handgun my right has the trigger finger, kinda weird
This is clearly not a righty AR haha. Ambi safety and charging handle
does anyone know what gun this is exactly
If' you''re a new shooter or just a new AR15 owner, BE SURE AND VOTE TRUMP -PENCE 2020, AND vote Republican on the entire ticket, unless you want to give up those guns when Biden gets in (he's already promised Beto is coming to take your ARs and AKs, and thats just a start).
Trump and R's aren't perfect, but DEMS in the WH and Congress WILL TAKE YOUR GUNS.
Pass it on.

The worst problem I had in the Army, was brass going in my shirt. They had these brass catcher things, but they lead to more jams than they were worth.
I'm right handed but always shot left I just find it more naturally to get it in position on my shoulder & cheek I only shoot shotgun at the moment as I'm in UK so I need my FAC but just wanted know my options for ambidextrous rifles good vid 👍
is the safety not gonna break anytime soon during constant abuse? newb here who wants to know more about rifles as a lefty. 🤓
I just realized that ar's are build for leftys
0:16 Sound like Ak 47 Counter Strike Version

One of the biggest reason why as a left handed shooter, I hate the AR platform. Was a big reason I always hated Table 2 when I was at the range in the Marines. Right handed "coaches" could never understand.
This was extremely helpful. I have been trying to learn for weeks on how to operate my AR but this was by far the best one yet!
Thanks for this.I'm lefty and bought an ambitious safety and mag release but this is good to know👍
Anyone else here lefty but right eye dominant? So the dominant eye is NOT along the rail/sights with your cheek weld. Seems to me having the sights up a bit higher is no big deal to catch that right eye, thoughts?
I don't have a rifle or sbr or pistol w/ brace yet. I have a sig P365 and one thing I liked about sig when I got it was their inclusion of ambi controls on their platforms, since I'm a lefty.
I prefer to shoot this way and am right handed with extreme left eye dominance. No problem using my left as a trigger/operator.
Is there any danger from brass or gas being that the ejector is on the right said? I see the man has no problem in this video with brass ejecting but is it ever a problem? Thank you
Super helpful….Thought using a RH weapon would mean significant handicaps and compromises. You made it look fluid and effective. Sweet!! Gonna practice…..
Is that a magpul sling (MS3 Sling GEN 2)? Also, as soon as we're all allowed outside to see each other again Im going to come up there fo some training!
I love being a lefty with carbines and shotguns.
This is a sig sauer video but it looks like he’s shooting an LWRC
Bro you move like a machine 🤘🤘🤘🤘 awesome tips brother 👊
Thanks for the video.
I'm cross eye dominate; dominate right hand but dominate left eye. I can see through my scope easily out of my left eye, but I really have to strain with my right into the scope. So it's nice to know that for a person like me with my visual aliment that running a standard rifle isn't going to be a huge obstacle.
Don't flip your safety just to change a mag. Keep your fingers off the trigger and there's no need for that
Great video! It just seems to me though that with all the technology we have now, lefty shooters should have an easier option with guns that are made predominantly for right handed use. Especially in regard to AR types. Designers should have their designs saved on a computer right? Idk why they can't just take a 3D model and flip it completely so that everything becomes a mirror image that is lefty friendly. Sure safety usually comes dual switch so that not much of an issue. G36 has a nice idea with their ambidextrous rack and reload, contour that is also ambi, yet it still ejects cases on the right side. I guess that's my only gripe really, just having a design that allows both left or right ejection or having a ready design for lefty customers readily available also
I need advice. I’m wrong handed and I’m going to suppress my BCM MCMR 11.5” pistol. How much is the gas in the face going to suck? Any tips to help that?
I love that rifle, what rifle is that bro.?
Or just get an ak lol
Left handed people gotta reload like an AK
THANK YOU!!!! More videos, more weapons please!
Thx for the info. Life is weird being a lefty. Bought my dad an AR for Christmas. When we shot it, the brass burned my neck so bad, and went down my shirt 😂. Won’t be shooting that gun again
Mr. Cavallaro, which one of SIG SAUER courses would cover this topic?
Why not just get a rifle that's made for us lefties? They do exist ya know
THIS GUY FACE SAME AS BEN FOSTER!
Im Right handed doing every thing BUT shooting Rifles and shooting pool. I have no idea why this is but its been this way since I was a kid. Thanks for posting this.
I am a left handed shooter the first thing I did was put an ambidextrous Charging handle on my AR.
I've never had to move the gun from its firing position to do any of the things he is doing. Keep in mind I have only been into the shooting Or guns in general for the past 4 years. I have only had an argument for 2 years so maybe I am doing it wrong.
Cory from Range Time lmao
