Left Eject Pistols?

[Kirk Freeman]

The only two self-loaders that eject left that I am aware of are the Walther Models 3 and 4.

Can anyone name any others?

*Note: for work, if you are LEO may not want to answer.

TIA!

So I'm assuming you don't mean something like a Randall or Cabot Gun left handed 1911?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

As long as it spits to the left like the Walthers.

 

[LEaSH]

Not by design, but I had a Glock 26 that would put them up and to the left-ish slightly. I stimulated the ejector so it would go up and to the right-ish.

I cant think of any that are designed for specific left ejection, nor find any in the Gun Digest of 2012.

 

[Double T]

I'm sure there are plenty of custom one off's. AFAIK the walthers are the only left ejectors in the semi-auto realm.

 

[rockhopper46038]

Well both of those 1911s I mentioned do, but were mirrored designs built specifically to do so. I can't think of another pistol, but the JR carbines allow you to choose which side of the weapon you wish to have the brass eject.

 

[Sylvain]

Pretty much any semi-auto can eject on the left depending on how you hold it.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

We may get there (especially if the State's star witness was shooting gangster sideways), but let's just say I say I am dealing with a younger professional witness with a combination of "I am the only trained professional in fireams that knows that all pistols eject right" and "respect my author-i-tay". Four decades in the gun culture and I learn new stuff everyday, but Supercop learned it all at the ILEA.

 

[Westside]

not a pistol but the CX4 storm is 9mm and can be setup to eject on the left or right side. Beretta Cx4 Storm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[LEaSH]

So if'n the testimony is that "so n so shooter must be standing in this spot when firing a weapon if the cases landed here", wouldn't it be relatively easy to prove that by angling any given firearm you can manipulate the trajectory of the ejectoree?

A righty turning a glock (and others) counter clockwise a bit could send cases left.

The Walther P5 and P5 Compact, but of course you knew about them. Those Portsider 1911s never really attracted me, and I'm a southpaw.

 

[Kagnew]

My little Beretta Bobcat was fond of bouncing them off my forehead.

With a pistol, does it really make as much difference as it does with a rifle? (Not being a southpaw I'm just asking, here.)

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Yes, because it depends on where CSI thinks people were standing and the assumptions they make about how firearms work.

I am fairly shocked that someone would dig themselves into such a hole passed on so little experience.

I think Charter made some at one point (nix that, they were lefty revolvers). Also the Walther P5 series. Falcon Arms Portsider. Add the Sig 250 to the list, it is convertible (appears this is a custom order only).

Walther P1/P38 and P5 also eject left.

Nice read.

Sorry. I'll have to start working on my criminal mind-set.

Thanks much!

Mine Does Both

I have a Chiappa 22lr pistol, that ejects to the right, straight up and also straight back in your face. So there................
That is if it ejects at all.

 

[JettaKnight]

Walther P1/P38 and P5 also eject left.

Huh!

From this diagram, you can see the extractor is on the left.
