sir, I have been shooting semi auto pistols left handed for over half a century, I am looking for HONEST opinions of what pistols other left handed shooters are using, not shooting lessons.
what .22 semi autos do you shoot. seriously?

Which semiautos have you fired that hit you in the face? Is this an actual problem or anticipated problem? I shoot lefthanded, and have many decades and thousands of rounds fired thru 2 different Ruger MK I's - never been hit in the face even once by either of them. The rest of the Ruger MK series should be equally 'safe' for you. Additionally, none of my centerfire semiautos pose any hazard, either.

If you've got all those years of pistol shooting under your belt, you should have a pretty good idea of what to avoid. If it were my concern, I'd be spending more time at my range watching other shooters, andasking the .22 semiauto shooters about their choice of guns. Ask nicely & you may get van invite to try theirs. Another option is an indoor range at a large gunshop. You'll have opportunity to try a variety to see what works best for you.

I had a friend, dead now, that used plain wood grips on which he slathered a plastic molding product, then picked up the gun and held it in with his 'target hold' until the plastic set. Then he cleaned up the grips and gun making minor modifications as he went. Every time he picked up the gun it was his perfect fit.

i know what to avoid,I was looking for recommendations of what other people were shooting left handed. I've been hit with brass from a few pistols, I have an amt .380 backup that puts empties in the middle of my forehead. also I have a sccy cpx-2 that I hit the mag release sometimes when fired left handed. these are the things I was asking about.

Hammerli 208 was available with factory left handed grips. Smith Wesson model 41 has ambidextrous semi-thumbrest grips. As I recall, the shooter two positions to the right of a guy shooting a Ruger would get showered with empties. Why not observe some bullseye matches to see ejection patterns?
