Can be made left hand friendly but it takes some doing I switched a friend's to left hand for himIsnt the Impact M3 kinda lefty friendly?
IMO - not so much without work. It's the mag well and the huge mag that sticks out the right side. Elis has done some 3D printing and made a mag that I believe is lefty friendly. Without something like that - the Impact, Maverick and Wildcat are NOT lefty friendly guns.Isnt the Impact M3 kinda lefty friendly?
Good points, I forgot about the mag. I guess that shows how dominant hand non-inclusive I amIMO - not so much without work. It's the mag well and the huge mag that sticks out the right side. Elis has done some 3D printing and made a mag that I believe is lefty friendly. Without something like that - the Impact, Maverick and Wildcat are NOT lefty friendly guns.
And before anyone says use the compact mags:
For the Panthera, as long as the cheek rest can be moved, the cocking arm location doesn't really matter much to me. The mage is also well forward so not a concern either.
- Why should I have to?
- They don't help that much. You still have a mag in your face. There are so many other gun airguns that I have no interest in making the sacrifice.
Matt, i also have a vision problem since 2018 and had to learn the lefty style.Hi
I am a very much right-handed person, but have had to shoot left-handed for nearly 55 years because of a vision issue - so left hand shooting is "natural" for me.
I have a Crown in 177 and about 18 months ago had some spare cash and purchased a M3 for offhand shooting. Yes, I well knew before the purchase that the Impact was not the most ergonomic rifle for offhand and certainly not left-handed friendly! But I bought it anyway, and have hand lots of fun with it in shooting metallic silhouette and some bench-rest targets.
I subsequently got around to modifying my M3 - see pictures. Also, at my range the rule is "single load" so magazines are not allowed - have never used the magazine once. So I purchased a single shot loader and made a left-handed cheek piece. Also, purchased a Saber Tactical adjustable buttstock, which I subsequently modified to get a better alignment between shoulder-fit and eye onto the scope.
I am seriously thinking of selling the M3 once I have overcome an issue with loss of velocity and will probably purchase a Crown in 22 for offhand metallic silhouette shooting.
Cheers
Matt

Hi AllenRemember that elis has a left handed magazines as well as a cheek pad for the mk2 and m3
Allen
Many thanks for your prompt reply - much appreciated.Elis (Elis5173) and the super cool, air gun related products he makes.
As a left handed shooter, sometimes it’s hard to get our guns set up exactly right. On my Impact MKII, I have a left handed, adjustable cheek rest but unfortunately, they’re not available anymore and I wanted something different for my M3 anyway. So, I reached out to Elis (Elis5173) who had made...www.airgunnation.com
can you make one for the maverick .25 sniper ?A few months ago I did a few mods to make the impact a little more lefty friendly. It uses a redesigned magazine and cheek riser . I even managed to move the magazine release. I needed a true lefty to test it out couldn't find one.

I have an AGT vulcan 2 tactical. When I got it, it had the cocking handle on the left side, and the mag can only be inserted from the left side. Since I am right handed I moved the handle over to the right. But as far as I know the gun come as standard for "lefties", even the majority is right handed. Maybe eastern europeans use theire guns differently? Doing a quick google search on vulcan guns, the majorities off the pictures have the cocking handle to the leftA company with as much engineering talent as FX has can certainly make a magazine that can be inserted from the left side of the gun. Like the Prophet which can have it's magazine inserted from either side. I was serious about a Crowne but then I bought my first P35 and I don't want a conventional gun, I like bullpups.
