james peek 14 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 i keep seeing these rails with just the rail on the right side of a lower hand guard. pardon my ignorance. just don't fully understand it. if it's going to be on one side why the right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Most people are right handed, the fingers of their left hand will be on the right side. Your fingers are easily able to operate a switch/pressure switch, such as for a flashlight or laser. Edited August 7, 2015 by ChileRelleno Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Thumb seems more natural to me, but to each his own. I figured it was because the right side of most guns is more interesting to photograph so the shops put most of the doo dads there to show off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your fingers are easily able to operate a switch/pressure switch delivery, such as for a flashlight or laser. maybe i'm making this too hard but i am right handed and want to keep my right hand on the trigger while my left hand operates a light on the left side. or do you go under the gun or do a gangster lean to operate the switch. seems awkward to me.

RED333 1,025 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 As a correct handed person I am very offended by this thread, all you wrong handed people need to go to retraining camp. Be sure to send me 10 dollars each to make up me being offended. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
