Cool. How's the magazine release? Slide drop?
I don't know much about Glock to be honest but they have a solid reputation that makes me want to join the club.
I'll check it out.
Cool. I'm glad to hear that.

the gen4 has a true ambidextrous mag release, you can change it from side to side.
GLOCKs are designed to be operated with either hand comfortably, you can reach all controls easily, I hav taught myself to shoot left handed.
can help much with the direction of ejection.

I like the idea of port side, but it's not necessary. I feel like a square peg in a round hole and for once would like to find something built for me, not just modified.
It's weird, I know, and a bit over picky, but hey, you guys have everything built for you so I would like the same for one thing in the world that isn't poorly fitting baseball gloves.

I hear you. I'm also a lefty. I'm at the point now that I won't purchase any long gun if it isn't a lefty. Why bother. I might as well get what I want, right.?
I do like the Glock and as stated previously..ejection has never been a problem. The nice thing for me is while I am left handed, I shoot just as well and in some cases better right handed. It might be from practice and repetition but I think leftys have an advantage in that department.

I had a guy tell me last night that most left handed people shoot right from the bench. I'm not bench shooting, nor have I met another lefty that's remotely true with. Of course that's always in passing, I don't know any other lefties off line.
I can shoot right handed, not as well, but close. Like I said though if I'm spending good money for something I would like it to be as functional as my right handed buddies.
I can't tell you how many rifles I've had to pass up shooting so I don't get burned, but I'm sure you know that.

Austin, I believe you should stick to your favorite rubber band gun. It is safer for all of us!
I'll start a thread in OT.

I strongly reccommend that you not buy any firearm you you don't want. With that said, I can not reccommend any one over another .
We all purchase what we want because it appeals to our senses. Obviously, my likes and dislikes will differ from yours.
If you want to buy a Glock go do your reseach and find one in the caliber, size and color of your liking by all means.
And if you do, could I reccommend you look into Glock Sport Shooting Foundation (GSSF) for a match and some fun near you? We enjoy the match and all of the people we encounter there.

Where a lot of handguns eject more to the side, Glock ejects more up and over your head and a little to the right, so shooting left hand should not be an issue. Gen 4's will have the mag release that will work and if you have a gen 4 that is throwing casings in your face then the ejector needs changed and it will stop.

I use port side ejection as a general term for left handed firearms, the only way it really matter is with rifles.
I hate having to push off a hot casing cause it got stuck burning on my arm.
It's happened.

I'm also a lefty, although ambidextrous and i even favor my right with some things- for instance I swing golf clubs, and baseball bats as a righty, but throw lefty, and write lefty.
I have found that I am left eye dominant, but can switch shooting hands even though I am weaker with my right. Glock ejection has never been a problem either way I go.
I chose a Gen 3 23, and have found that even though the mag release is fixed on the left side on the gun I can apply enough pressure to drop the mag with the inside of my index finger pretty easily.
