The M&Ps are set up with ambi slide release, and the mag release can be converted to the opposite side easily.

And slide release. Excellent gun for a lefty like me. It comes without the safety as well. The Crimson Trace laser does NOT work with an ambi safety. Found out the hard way. I made it work with some judicious filing but would not recommend it.

You just learn to use the index and second finger instead of the thumb for several things.

I'm right handed but left eye dominant, so I practice using both hands. Out of the guns I have the Glock (I have the 27) is the most lefty friendly, I have shot a Kimber CDP which is more of a 1911 style if your friend is into that style but with an ambidextrous safety.

and was born into a world where no accommodations were made for left handed people. I learned to live in a right handed world and that included all firearms. After a period of time, it ceases to be a matter of concern. When left handed and ambi firearms came on the scene, they seemed awkward to me.

I shoot all manner of handguns including the Glock and don't feel handicapped at all. I would suggest your friend just adjust to shooting with his left hand and not worry about it.

Is the friend

right handed , left eye dominant

or

Left eye dominant left handed?

What I am going to suggest is baed on the fact that left eye vision does not preclude you sighting with that eye.

Holding the pistol as you would to shoot right handed, right eye.

Move the pistol over to line up with the left eye and sight on the target

Dry fire like this first to get over the weird feeling.

Load 4-5 rounds in 4-5 magazines and fire slowly with great deliberation.

Determine it it is muscle/eyes/sighting memory you could build with practice.

If so dry firing between range sessions is your friend.

If it doe not work for you do what I do, shoot right handed and live with lower level of precision.

Much appreciate your insight guys.

he left with a Glock, a 21. The important stuff is ambidextrous, the slide lock close enough.
