I'm a leftie and use normal right-hand action bolt guns. Personally it is no handicap. With auto loaders there are issues with where the safety catch, mag release, slide locking lever is but there are enough ambi devices now that this is not really an issue.
When prone with a bolt gun I find it is helpful to be able to see into the breech using a right hand action and easy to load single rounds through the ejection port. Perhaps not so safe if something blows up but touch wood that will never happen.
A Grendel in a micro action will be light enough that he can hold the gun with his trigger hand into the shoulder while cranking the bolt.
What I'm saying is by all means explore left-hand actions but as a leftie I actually prefer right-hand actions.
