I'm not but from what I've gathered from guys who are, a Garand is Lefty Unfriendly. My kudos to any lefty who uses one in competition.

I'm a lefty Garand guy. I don't have any big issues with it. I like her heads-up stance, by the way.

I shoot lefty, and in competition too. There are no issues. I've never seen a garand drive brass straight back (which would be an issue) if it does, it's a malfunction that should be addressed.
M1 carbine, on the other hand, is a different story. I have an NPM that I can shoot lefty just fine, and an Underwood that pops me square in the forehead every shot, unless I shoot it right handed.

My Underwood stacks the brass rather nicely about even with the muzzle 5 feet away for the most part. My Glock 21 however spews t-shirt collar gap seeking molten brass. It consistently gets whoever shoots it. I mostly use it in the colder weather now.
So apparently loading isn't an issue for you guys like I was told. I guess everyone has their own experiences with an M1.
