Try and find a club & have a chat with the (LH)users to see if you can have a go as some will suit you more than others.I have an LP10 & a SAMK11 as a back up as I like the feel and the ability to angle the grips how I want them.Morinis have a great electronic trigger but grip movement is more limited.Tried an FWB but did not like the trigger or balance- but that’s me you’ll be different so try and get to handle different ones.

Many thanks everyone for the good information and comments so far. I wasn't aware of the Morini electronic trigger being 'handed' so really good to be aware of that.
Cheers,

The Benelli Kite has an ambidextrous cocking lever; a member at Rivi has a L/H Rink grip on one - I'll talk to you next time you're up shooting.

Thanks Mike, I liked the look of the Benelli but didn't know someone had a L/H version - lucky. Will look forward to chatting next time - are you the Mike with the beard? Guessing so.Originally Posted by mikec4

If you go for a Morini 162ei. I have two boards and two left hand large grips for sale.
also have left handed grips for
Steyr EVO 10e.
Pardini K12.
SAM.
Feinwerkbau P8X.
Usually buy right handed guns. Then buy a left handed grip. More often than not. I sell the pistol with the original right hand grip.
I would not worry about where the cocking lever is. Shot and owned virtually all the top match air pistols. You soon adapt.
If your happy to spend £1000 on a pistol you shouldnt go far wrong. As long as you know what your buying. A 10 year old LP10 might not be such a good deal if it needs a service and two new cylinders.

The LP2 may be of interest but would depend on pricing, grip size, condition, etc. Could you perhaps supply some more info, or put me in touch with the seller?
It's early days in my search just now - my plan was to home in on some possible options and then take a look at the Shooting Show in Feb to handle some of the candidates. However, I could be tempted before then by the right gun at the right price.
Thanks a lot for your reply - helpful bunch on this forum
Cheers,

Hi Nick, What a shame my hands are so small - I'd need medium, possibly even small grips, otherwise a deal could have been made here.
Appreciate the advice also. Many thanks,
Dave.

Just a quick word on the Benelli Kite. A left-handed grip costs about £100 so I have both grips for mine, as family members who are right-handed also use it in competitions. The grips are quick and easy to change (one allen screw only) so it's always worth considering, particularly on re-sale value.
Hope that helps.
David
