^ For yourself or to sell? I have been looking for light trim short .40 for over a year now.

My slate is pretty full at the moment, check back with me in a few months.

I shoot long guns left handed but I have both right and left handed guns. I shoot all of them without much thought of which side the lock is on at the time.

I am left handed and prefer to shoot left handed guns like the one in my avatar. However, I do have a few RH flintlocks. The glasses I am wearing now are pockmarked from shooting my right handed Steve Krolick Cossack rifle portside. I would not consider shooting a RH flint or caplock from the left side without glasses.

You should always wear eye protection on the range whether you're shooting or not, due to the possibility of backsplash. There's also a pockmark on my right lens from someone shooting a modern pistol at steel plates from 25 yards.

as a.lefty shooting a right handed rifle I would add one thing, wear something on your right arm to keep cap metal from burning it. As black powder maniac shooter always sez eye and ear protection is strongly advised.

Of there was a large problem with ot, I'm sure there would not be s x s flintlock shotguns available. More of an issue for those shooting next to you I would guess.

 

[Mr. Flintlock]

If a RH flintlock rifle is fired LH is there a danger to the shooters eyes?

NO!

I have shot left handed from my first BB gun. I figured out how to close my right eye as a kid, couldn’t get the hang of closing my left. But I am right handed in everything else. In basic training my DI just shrugged as brass bounced off my helmet from my M14. I have never fired a left hand rifle, I didn’t even know they made such a thing. I never felt a need to switch to right handed, but can do so with no issues now that I can close my left eye.
Never fired a pistol until I was an adult, picked it up with my right hand and sighted with my left eye from the get go.
Everyone finds their own way.
