Find me a left hander's 1911!

There is something very, very wrong about that gun. It's like Kirk and Spock grew mustaches. It's as though Vader was the one dangling in Cloud Spire City, not Luke. It's as though Malcolm Reynolds switched to a plastic windbreaker. It's as if Iron Man and Captain America actually liked each other. It's as though Hal let Dave come home.

Are you saying it's sinister?

Didn't the Nuns teach you old timers that being a lefty was a sin?
The FIL got smacked back in the day every time he picked up something with his left hand. Till the day he died he could not walk by a Nun without mumbling something under his breath.
He loved his WWII military issued 1911 - not sure what he would think about that thing.
BTW, was lucky enough to get his 1911 after he passed - complete with the holster, several mags, and some of the ammo he was issued during in the 40s.

I have my dad's issued 1911 — a 1943 Ithaca. Great gun, but it ejects out the "wrong" side.

FILs is a 1943 Colt with matching SNs on the frame and underneath the firing pin stop plate. My understanding is often the slides would get swapped out for varies reasons and in many cases these numbers do not match. Colts between serial number 710001 and about 1139XXX have the serial number underneath the firing pin stop plate.

True, my muscle memory is for using the right handed controls but I could never get the index finger slide stop lock thing to be natural so if I ever had to lock the slide back I do it right handed and then pass the pistol to my left. I don't know how natural locking the slide would feel in my left hand though...
