I am also a South Paw. I fell in love with my Desert Eagle Sub compact. It is a SA/DA with a amby slide safety. I carry it chambered safely off in DA mode. The "Baby Eagle" come is 2 or 3 size combo's but I liked the very smallest in .40S&W I feel very secure carrying it in my limited time doing so.
I use a Fobus Paddle Holster.
