Let's just say that if you're already a Brocock fan, then you're gonna love some of the new features. And if you've never shot one, you just might want to give it a go!

In truth, most shooters have their levers and bolts on the wrong side! This is partly because the best designers are often left handed! Anyhow, most shooters would be better served to have the bolt or lever on the opposite side from their trigger hand, but tradition and inertia gets in the way.

I have built guns, and most are "convertible". Though I am able to shoot guns ok that cock on either side, I much prefer right hand cocking BECAUSE I'm left handed.

I laughed when I saw a matched pair of single action Colt revolvers .... with one being called "left handed", because in reality, ALL the regular Colt Single Action pistols were left handed UNTIL that one that loaded on the left side! Old Sam Colt made the design work for himself, and it became the norm.

I shoot right handed, but I prefer my levers to be on the left side of the gun if I have the option.
