Revolver or muzzleloader?

# Actually, I read that just about all Colt single action revolvers were
# designed for left handed shooting. In the cavalry, in close combat the
# pistol was shot with the left hand while your stronger right hand wielded
# your saber. That is why Mr Colt put the cap port and later the loading
gate
# on the right side of the gun. The shooting hand could keep its grip while
# the nonshooting right hand did the loading. Sounds logical. So, if you
# are a lefty you are in luck. Buy one off the shelf and have fun.
Oops. My bad. I missed the OP that specified a rifle instead of a handgun.
Still, Colt single action revolvers do work great for lefties.
