were all Germans right handed??

I think that most guns were designed for right-handed people, too!

There are a number of rifles made for left-handed people.
Some of them are mirror opposites of their original version.

But, I always thought the Luger was fairly neutral, particularly because it ejects upward.

I do agree with G.T. about the artillery stock and holster. That rig is definitely optimized for a right-handed shooter!

I have heard target shooters suggest that the rifling twist in most guns favors right handed people, too.

My left-handed shooting partner often ends up with shell casings in the back of his shirt after shooting his 1911 left-handed. We both wear safety glasses and our range requires them.
