This is more of an opinion question.I have a friend that is left handed and dropped extra coin to for an AR upper that had a left hand ejection port and I think the selector switch is on the right side (to be lefty friendly).
I also have a neighbor and friend who is left handed and he shoots a standard AR-15 just fine.This guy is from Laos originally and fought the communists with an M-16 even though he is left handed just fine.And the shells really do not fly into your face thanks to the casing deflector anyway that is why they put it there for left handed shooters.Of course this Lao dude 40 years ago they did not have the casing deflector on M-16s back then.
Personally I think that those lefty upper mods are just a waste of money/a way to show off to other people that you have money to spend on unless things.Which is ok I suppose but i just think in the grand shecme of things at least for self loading firearms if your left handed it works just fine without modification.
What do you guys think?
