Like Bowfin pointed out, if I hand a rightie my Winchester they'll probably be all thums and quite indignant about it. One of the few guns I can't shoot left handed is a Bullpup-stocked automatic, and I can shoot right handed just fine if I really need to.
Personally, I'd rather keep on compromising rather than get used to one bolt gun that is "correct".
By the way, isn't it really nice that Winchester and Marlin put the loading gate on the right side? I like to reload without dismounting from my shoulder or taking my firing hand off the wrist. And the SAA, well, that couldn't be more convenient for me. Might be why I have so few swing-cylinder revolvers.
