Is the M1a safe for leftys?
Im thinking about a shorty M1a and I will be reloading for it as well. Staring the OP rod straight on is a bit unnerving- in case of a slam fire or case failure a left handed shooter is gonna eat it pretty bad am I right?

M1A's generally eject brass forward at about 2 o'clock. Lefty's just get a better look at the brass as it leaves. Wear glasses no matter what.

I'm left-handed. It was my service rifle and I never had a problem relative to safety issues. There were inconveniences similar to, but not as bad as, shooting a right-handed bolt-action.
Just guessing, but I think it is unlikely the military would develop a battle weapon with a design that has strong potential to harm left-handed shooters. |
