Buy recommendations Advice: Shotgun for Lefty

Looking at purchasing a Shotgun, however, I'm left eye dominant and shoot from the left. I'd love to be able to grab a Blueline pump or Mossberg 88 but I've read mixed things about leftys shooting right eject firearms.

Are there any leftys out there who shoot these guns (or any other right side eject for that matter) and can offer there opinion. I know Browning Bps is an option but budget is a consideration.

I've also considered single shots and wondering if someone can recommend something other than a Daly 101 or Federation.

Thanks All.

I’m a lefty and haven’t had issues with right eject shotguns, if anything they’re easier to load. One thing I would keep in mind is how the safety is set up, push button safeties can be annoying if you’re left handed.

If you want to go the Mossberg route I suggest either a model 500 or 590 since they both have tang safety that can be used easily lefthanded. The 88 has a push button safety that isn’t lefthand friendly at all.
