Youth slug gun

[harvey lee]

Anyone know where a person can buy a youth, left handed semi auto in a 20 ga slug gun?

Granddaughter will hunt deer this fall and I need a gun that is left handed and a youth. Preferably a semi auto but I could live with a pump.

wow, that's asking a lot I think Harvey, youth, semi auto, yep you can find it, but southpaw??? I am not sure how many southpaw adult size semi's are out there. I am sure the big boys make them in adult sizes.....

It's awesome your grand daughter is wanting to deer hunt, her future husband will thank you some day

Taylor loves to come along in the ground blind to watch the deer. Few years ago, she decided she wanted to deer hunt with us. I am all for it.

Ithaca has one in the Deerslayer 11 model as it is a bottom eject so it can work for either. Only issue is, they want $900 for it, a bit much for a 12 year olds 1st deer slug gun. They make this model with an adjusttable stock so one can shorten it a tad more than 2 inches. Also a fully rifled barrel. Ithaca said they were 3 months out on orders on this gun.

Benilli also makes one but you can guess the price of that.

Research online shows there are some from time to time but they are few and far between.

I would go with a pump also if I could find one.

Taylor is left eye dominant so she does not shoot well right handed even though she can. Much better shooting as a leftie.

I have till Oct to find one and if I look long enough, I should be able to corral one.

How about a browning BPS? They bottom eject......

Not sure if CZ makes a lefty but they might

I have not found a Browning in a youth model yet.

Maybe a Remington 1187 here is a link. It comes in youth and 20 gauge and also comes in left in adult just not sure about the youth model.

Looking at a Browning BPS micro in 20 gauge with a cantilever mount. It's a bottom eject so it would work for both r and L handed shooters.

Have you checked to see which eye is dominant for her? Even though she's a lefty, maybe she is right eye dominant.

Just a thought.

Left eye dominant. We have tried to shoot her right handed and it is not good. She shoots very well left handed but right handed is all over.

Harvey I think you are going to need to settle for a BPS pump 20 or something like it that isn't right or left handed. You'll have a tough time finding a 20 youth left handed semi auto

What is the main difference with a youth gun? Just a shorter stock?

Could you just find a regular 20 ga lefty, in a model that you can buy a shorter stock?

I saw two youth stocks at the big C store the other day and it was listed that it will fit any 12 ga in that model.

Went with a Browning BPS Micro in a 20 gauge. Since it is a bottom eject, good for both a right or left handed shooter. If our youngest granddaughter decides to also go deer hunting, by then, it would work for her also since is has the bottom eject.

Picked up the Browning BPS Micro 20 gauge slug gun for our Granddaughter today. Put a good scope on it and it should be a very good slug gun.

The guy at the gun shop where I go said wouldn't it have been nice if we could have got a gun like this for our first gun, I said yes, at age 11, I was happy with any style gun as long as it was mine.

These slug guns today are so much better than what a person shot 45 years ago.

Now, we will need to do alot of practice so she is ready to dump her 1st deer this fall. Deer season will not come fast enough as I am really pumped to see her harvest her first deer.

I have a great spot that is private property and we will be the only ones there. I hunted this spot last fall archery hunting for the 1st time ever and dropped a nice 10 pointer the first 20 minutes I sat there last fall.

Just have to get the cameras out and then approx 1 month before the youth season, I will put out a ground blind for her and her dade or I.
