Are there any lefties out there that are of the Glock persuasion? I'm thinking heavily on buying a Glock 17 or 19, but my only hangup is the magazine release. I know that the release is rather small, and I am aware that all my other handguns use an ambidextrous release, thus eliminating my affliction. Is the release tougher for lefties, or is it something that can easily be overcome with a little practice. I'm thinking that it won't be an issue with practice (seeing as I do everything else left-handed and have to adjust), but I'm just curious.
Now, I'm sure that most of you are going to tell me to wander off to a range and try it out. I can't. I'm out of the country and will be for a little while...and I might send my father in to buy the thing for me. I'm going on a little bit of faith here, but I also want to get the thing paid for and put away before Dear Leader Obama bans anything larger than a pellet gun. I'm kind of between a rock and a hard place.
I'd rather not buy another XD. I've got one in .40 and frankly love it, but I've decided that for a high capacity 9mm, Glock is the way to go. The only argument I can make in favor of the XD is the mag. release.
