Guest Tech29OhYeah Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Why doesn't anyone make Left Handed Youth Model shotguns? While we're at it, why don't they make a Left Handed Youth Model Semi Auto shotgun? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Why?? Output vs input. The cost of the tooling compared to the demand may not be inline with what they want to invest. Today, gun makers are cutting costs everywhere they can to make a buck. It may just be too small of a niche to justify the expense. As to the semi, how many people will shell out $500-$600 for a gun that the kid will outgrow in a few years? you know the price will not go down just because it has smaller dimentions. Typically, the price goes up as the size goes smaller due to redesigning, tooling, and manufacturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Why?? Tech have you looked at the Browning BPS Micro? With it's top tang safety and bottom eject it's truly an ambidextrious firearm. Granted it's only a single shot, but what about the Rossi Braztech?

johnf Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Why?? So then wouldn't any single, over under or side-by-side be ambidexterous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Re: Why?? [ QUOTE ] So then wouldn't any single, over under or side-by-side be ambidexterous? [/ QUOTE ] Not all of them. Some of the higher end shotgnus have right or left handed buttstocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice gun. And, it's most likely what I'll go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both daughters are left handed, and the wife likes the feel of a youth gun due to her size. As for the semi-auto part, that would just be COOL. And it may not recoil as hard on the ladies.

AJ Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Re: Why?? Wenig offers a Ladies stock that can be fitted to many different guns. I shot with one lady back in VA that had one on her 1100 and she loved it. She was about 5' tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
