Why do I have to be cack handed

Cack-handed? What in Darwin's name is your problem - we are The Chosen and because of our obvious superiority, the inferior right-handed majority persecute us relentlessly with stuff that we find difficult or impossible to use... :cool: ;)(y)

Cack handed and a springer shooter?😊😊

Next you'll be telling us you only shoot .177.😂😂

There was or is? A left handed TX in the sales!

I saw a Rapid stock not long ago that was left handed, it was so nice and different I was tempted, I have two different mags for the Rapid and they both load from different sides, you need a Rapid 😁
What you say @Big Al

I think @Cloud9 bought that lefty Tx, unless there's another been put in sales recently.

Indeed I did and a beauty it is too 😁, picture doesn’t do it justice. I’ve been passively keeping look out for a lefty AA springer for while.

I’m right handed but left eye dominant and shoot left. I feel your frustration OP but nice leftie stuff does come along, I got my leftie hw95 cs500 stock off old agf and it had all the extras I would have wanted if buying new.

The tx200 I just picked up is a gorgeous rifle and I’m all the more excited to get to know it and enjoy it because when you find the exact thing you want in a harder to find spec - well it’s just all the more satisfying isn’t it? And the righties don’t get a look in either 😁. We just have to be a bit more patient first.

Even though I'm forced to shoot lefty, I'm a right handed and, most importantly, have a right handed thought process. I never get mad because a lefty stock costs more. I'm just glad all guns aren't right handed. :) Here's another TX in a lefty stock, but the action is a righty.View attachment 24178

In the world of PCPs, it's not such a problem.

I have a grandson who is left-handed and he is remarkably fast, accurate and comfortable with a HW100 (with the cocking action being on the right-hand side).
The stock is ambidextrous.
 
i am a true l/hander and shoot a Katran with right hand cocking lever even though you can change cocking lever over in minutes to become l/handed i prefer to leave as is because finger on trigger and load with right hand

Lefties rule and Air Arms make us pay for the privilege! HW forever!
 
I'm not a leftie, but what puzzles me is L/h rifles when NEW seem to command higher prices, but when you go to sell one secondhand the market for them is smaller, and prices look to be lower.
Am I wrong or just not seeing the logic 🤷?

Beautiful gun. Being RH but only shooting left because I’m lefft eye dominant I would’ve thought I would have a right handed thought process too - but I couldn’t imagine for a second loading a tx from the right. I switched over very young though I guess and it’s would feel totally alien to even shoulder to the right now.

A nice advantage I have though being switched is being able to cock with my stronger arm. It may not make much difference to some, but I am tiny, slim woman and it makes a huge difference to me. I think I’d have a tough time with some of my guns if shot RH and had to cock them with my left hand.

Think of the production process, you make 995 right handed actions, then have to change things to make 5 left handed so extra costs will be involved

Manufactures don’t want to maintain a high stock level I guess and charge as a special order - when it comes to selling it’s harder to sell, especially if you want it gone quick so more priced to sell maybe?

I don’t know if that’s the case, it’s just a guess at what may be going on.
