I want to run a 300BO, 8” with a suppressor.  I am a left hand shooter.
Would it be better to go with a piston gun or a left eject DI to minimize gas in the face?

A piston is still going to get gas backpressure down the barrel and into the receiver. You're better off having the ejection port opposite your face, regardless of any other factor.

Learn how to shoot right-handed....

Not a joke. I'm learning how to shoot left-handed.

At least give it an honest try..

We have a family friend that has four boys. One of them shoots trap for his high school and is very good. She shoots it left-handed and does most other things left handed.
I was teaching him how to shoot a pistol and he was struggling. I was watching him and had an idea for him to switch to a right-handed grip. The difference was night and day.
Damndest  thing I have ever seen.

I don't need therapy. I just need someone to rob me at the gas station so I can let it all out.
