    HELP!

    I am finding it very difficult to make my 1st handgun purchase in CA. The problem I am having is finding the gun that suits me the best being left handed. Here are the features that I am looking for in a gun:
    - DA/SA
    - Ambidextrous Safety & Decocker
    - Ambidextrous Slide Release
    - Ambidextrous Mag Release
    - 9MM
    - Under $600
    - 10 Round Mag
    Does any such gun exist in today's marketplace?
    I have been able to find guns that have some features, but have yet to find one that has them ALL. Please help steer me in the right direction.

    Doesn't meet of the list, but try the M&P pistol. It's designed for lefties.

        Up until I read the "under $600" part, I was thinking a V3 P30S.

          If you are new to operate a handgun, I suggest learn to operate a handgun with your right hand.

            I am left handed and always use a right handed weapon. I find no difficulty with doing this.....

              you can always get a revolver for your first handgun, thats what I always recomend, no one ever complains.

                  You're missing out on a lot of fantastic handguns when you ask for ambi everything.

                    The Springfield XD and the smith M&P are the two I recommend for lefties. No manual safety to worry about and lefty friendly mag releases. Don't worry about an ambi slide stop so much. Racking the slide to release it tends to be faster anyway. I know they don't fit all of tour criteria but they are great for what they have to offer.

                      What about a Beretta 92fs? It doesn't have ambi mag release or slide stop, but I believe the mag release can be swapped to the right side. Not having ambi slide stop shouldn't be a show stopper either, just slingshot the slide when reloading/malfunction clearing.

                        Omit the ambidextrous slide release and train to use power rack, that will open more options maybe.
                        (Lets not debate power rack vs slide release here, both are good, IMO)

                        Both safety & decocker, is a very limiting option as well.
                        I think CZ is your closest options, check out the P-07/P-09, those convert safety or decocker, (sse needed).

                          yeah the 92F is all of that, being the army gun there's a ton cheap on gunbroker all the time.

                            The only gun I can think of that fits all of your criteria is a fnx9. However it is hard to find with 10 round mags and will need to be SSE

                            The hardest criteria to fill is ambi slide release. The only other guns I can think of is the PPQ and m&p9 but they are striker fired, not DA/sa
