As a lefty I feel that the Sigs are very poorly designed for those of us who are southpaws. This is not a flame, because I respect the sigs, and consider them to be some of the finest handguns on the market.
I have a fair share of trigger time behind 220s and have always wanted a 229 for myself, but everytime I go out with the intention of purchasing one, I am turned of by the lack of ambi features. Today, I went to the store, and again, I turned the 229 down. The decocker and slide lock are very hard to manipulate, but I can live with that. I am however very uncomfortable with the placement of the mag release, as my trigger finger crosses right over it. I am concerned that this would be very easily activated under stress.
Soo, I would like the experiences of those of you who are lefties and sig users. Any tips or tricks? I really want that 229, but I don't want to purchase a firearm that I am not 100% comfortable.
Oh and learning to shoot righty isn't a practical option.
