Left hand triggers

In the course of a fitting it was pointed out that my VH was a Left Hand gun. Sure enough, the trigger pads were oriented to favor the left hand on both triggers. How common were the Left handers? Anyone interested in an exchange? My VH has had the stock refinished, no case colors remaining.

Brian;
I'm a lefty and have been shooting right handed triggers since the age of 10 or 12 and can't really say that I have any difficulty going from front trigger to back or vice versa.

Doesn't seem to bother me either. Curious about rarety of Left hand guns.

I have 4 Parkers and a Fox with left hand cast. Triggers all the same.

If I had a pick, I think I'd rather have the back trigger on the right side anyway.

Let me try to clarify what was originally mentioned. Are you talking about triggers actually swapped, or just the shape of the triggers are different?

Trigger shape favors left hand shooter - pad oriented slightly to the left.

I cannot say that I have noticed this feature before. I do have a PH that has the left (rear) trigger curled an awfull lot to where it is pretty much in line with the front trigger. That is the only trigger design oddity that I have noticed on any guns that I have owned.
