I believe all the Beretta’s are right hand top lever, even though it has a LH stock. I ran into the same issue with my DT11.

 

I don't consider it an issue at all; in fact I PREFER the lever get pushed to the right as a LH shooter; just as a I prefer RH double triggers

 

To the right.

The only current production guns w/ LH top levers are Browning 725 and euro market Citori, Krieghoff K80, and Blaser.

 

Benelli 828U is as well, I believe.

 

Hey thanks guys. I knew the 686 lefties had a rh top lever. I just thought that Beretta may have changed in their later models. Tracking down a leftie up here was quite a feat. I probably would have settled on a Rh but I was worried that the palm swell would be an issue. But i was lucky and one showed up. And as a leftie, when you see one you buy it.
I am always very careful to stress the left hand top lever opening when I let someone shoulder my 725s. I have a rh Weathetby Orion so it won't be an issue

 

Good to know. They are so abjectly uncommon that I forget they even exist. I've never seen one in person, I don't recall ever seeing one in a gun shop, and I've only seen a handful of photos of people using one on Facebook, one a very high grade which I would assume is a sponsored foreign shooter.

 

As a 725 owner, I prefer the left hand lever. It feels natural to me because all my shotguns are left handed.

 

I received the gun today. It is really sweet. I have a Beretta A400 leftie, and was always impressed with the workmanship. I had to pull off about 5 pieces of plastic film from the barrels. I am not sure if the film is only on the barrels. Also the finish is described as Glossy oil. Not sure if it is actually oil rub finish. I will be shooting tomorrow. So far it feels really nice.
