Description
Left-handed clay shooters have been asking for this one for a long time. The Browning Citori CX Left Hand takes the crossover formula that made the CX a staple at sporting clays courses everywhere and mirrors it properly for southpaws. The gloss finished Grade II American walnut stock carries a left-hand palm swell, and even the top lever swings the correct direction, so you get a gun that fits your hands instead of one you learned to work around. The blued receiver with gold enhancement over rich walnut gives it that classic Citori look that never goes out of style.
Why the Citori CX Works for Clays and Birds
The CX in the name stands for crossover, and the 60/40 point of impact is what makes it happen. It shoots flat enough for skeet and sporting clays, carries enough built-in rise for trap, and swings naturally on flushing roosters or doves. The 32 inch lightweight barrels feature a floating ventilated top rib and vented side ribs, giving you a long, smooth sighting plane without the muzzle-heavy feel you might expect. Browning's Total Barrel Dynamics package rounds it out with back-bored barrels, Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones, and the Invector-Plus choke system, all working together for consistent, even patterns. Three extended Midas Grade choke tubes come in the box so you're covered from close crossers to long birds.
Built Like a Citori Should Be
Underneath the good looks is the same overbuilt lockup Citoris are famous for: a full-width tapered locking bolt and full-width hinge pin designed to stay tight through decades of heavy use. Chrome-plated chambers shrug off corrosion and clean up fast, hammer ejectors kick empties clear, and the Three Position Trigger lets you dial in length of pull to fit your reach. An Inflex II recoil pad tames the 3 inch chambers, while the ivory front bead and mid-bead help you check your eye alignment before calling for the bird. For lefties who have waited long enough for a proper over under, this one was worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Citori CX Left Hand different from the standard CX?
This version is built from the ground up for left-handed shooters, not just a neutral stock. The Grade II walnut stock has a dedicated left-hand palm swell, and the top lever opens in the opposite direction so it falls naturally under a lefty's thumb. Everything else, including the 60/40 point of impact and Total Barrel Dynamics, carries over from the standard CX.
Is the Browning Citori CX good for both clays and hunting?
That is exactly what it was designed for. The 60/40 point of impact splits the difference between a flat-shooting field gun and a high-shooting trap gun, so it handles sporting clays, skeet, trap, and upland birds without needing a second shotgun. The 3 inch chambers and steel shot rated barrels also make it a legitimate option for waterfowl.
Can I shoot steel shot through the Citori CX Left Hand?
Yes, the barrels are rated for steel shot performance, and the chrome-plated chambers add extra durability and corrosion resistance. Just follow standard practice and avoid running steel through the Full choke at heavier loads. The Invector-Plus system gives you plenty of aftermarket choke options if you want a dedicated waterfowl tube.
Is a 32 inch barrel too long for sporting clays?
Not at all, longer barrels have become the norm in the clay games because they smooth out your swing and extend your sighting plane. Browning keeps this one lively by using lightweight barrel construction with a floating vent rib and vented side ribs, so it does not feel like a boat anchor out front. If you shoot mostly clays with some field time mixed in, 32 inches is a great pick.
