I am considering an FX Impact MK2 .357 and want to know if I will have issues being a left handed shooter? I know that Saber Tactical and another company make cheek risers; does that solve issues being a lefty?
I too shoot an FX Impact from the dark side. Couple comments.
- High capacity mags bother me, others don’t seem to have an issue.
- Find yourself a good ambidextrous cheek piece, Custom Carbon Designs make excellent products.
- I have been using Original FX mags (11 shot in 0.22 cal) that are designed for FX Royal etc. These load from the left and eliminate mag interference and allow excellent cheek weld.
- Eagle vision has a new mag that works with the Impact and loads from the left - haven’t tried yet, but looks promising.
- I prefer cocking lever on the right side. Allows me to cycle shots without removing trigger finger.
Would be awesome if FX, Side Shot, or Saber Tactical decided to make high capacity mag that loaded from the left. Would be super to easy for them to make.

Links to left loading mags for the Impact are given below. Correction to my post above - the FX standard mag holds 12 rounds in 0.22 cal. The Eagle Vision mag holds 18.
