The Rock Island VR80LH delivers reliable semi-automatic performance specifically engineered for left-handed shooters. This AR-15 style 12-gauge shotgun eliminates the brass ejection concerns that plague southpaws with traditional firearms.
What Makes This Different
Built on an AR-15 platform with true left-hand configuration, the VR80LH ejects spent shells away from the shooter's face and body. The 20-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for both 2¾" and 3" shells while maintaining maneuverability. Unlike ambidextrous designs that compromise for both hands, this shotgun prioritizes left-handed ergonomics throughout.
Key Features
- Left-hand specific ejection port and controls for natural operation
- 20-inch barrel with 3-inch chamber handles magnum loads effectively
- Fixed thumbhole stock provides consistent cheek weld and control
- 5+1 capacity with detachable magazine system
- Black anodized aluminum receiver resists corrosion and wear
- AR-15 style controls familiar to modern shooters
- Picatinny rail system accommodates optics and accessories
The gas-operated system cycles reliably with target loads through heavy magnum shells. Competition shooters benefit from the consistent ejection pattern and quick follow-up shots. The thumbhole stock configuration locks the shooting hand in position for repeatable accuracy. Home defense applications gain from the familiar manual of arms and accessory mounting options.
