As a lefty, I think I'm going to like the fact that the ACR's controls are ambidextrous out of the box. Over the years I have spent a ton of money building and converting Ar-15 to fit my needs. My XCR comes very close, however it still lacks an ambi mag release and charging handle. It will be nice to actually have a rifle that I don't have to always shoot on my weak side or come up with a new routine to adapt to the right handed controls.
