Lefty 1911 mags? Is that anything like a metric screwdriver? Or a round tuit?

I think he was confused. Mag release maybe?

[sevensix2x51]

no, the mag release is already on the right side. along with the slide stop. these two items require the magazine to be mirror-imaged.

hence, a left-handed magazine. think about it.

There have been a few "mirror-image" Left handed 1911s made over the years by various companies.
Some even had left handed rifling in the barrels so the gun twists into the left hand when firing, not out of it.

No, magazines. Since it's a left handed gun, standard mags won't work. The follower won't correctly hit the slide stop. Therefore, reversed mags.

Get standard magazines and use a dremel. Instant left handed magazines.

Learn something new everyday I guess.

Nice novelty item, but I'm left-handed and have absolultly no use for a left-handed handgun or rifle for that matter. Except for an ambi-safety on my 1911 and an adjustment in the manual of arms to accommodate using the "other hand" everything else works fine. Mag changes? I use my index (trigger finger) to operate the release. No chance of an ND there. I can see the ejection port making malfunction ID easy. Locking the slide back is admistrative and I just change hands.

AHA! you say, what about type 3 or failures to extract, have to change hands huh? Nope. Don't even lock the slide back. I use a wounded shooter technique and wah-la the mag is dislodged and I'm free to work the slide.

And no I don't know where to find left-handed magazines, muffler bearings, diesel spark plugs or unicorn saddles..sorry. Must be a Caspian only thing.

Good luck with that. That's an extremely uncommon item you're looking for.

i would think a dremeled magazine would have problems feeding reliably unless you get it exactly perfect, and then it would have a limited life, as heating the metal would likely soften it. one would also have to account for holding the slide open, or not. but i do like that feature as well... thanks for the helpful suggestion nevertheless!
