Description
If you own a left-handed 10/22, this is the only magazine that will work with your rifle. Ruger engineered the LX-1 as a complete mirror image of their standard rotary magazine, so the feed lips, rotor, and overall geometry are all reversed to accommodate left-hand feeding and ejection. It's not just a different follower color; the magazine rotates counter-clockwise instead of clockwise, which means a standard right-hand magazine literally won't load in your left-handed receiver.
Instantly Identifiable Left-Hand Design
The green follower and embossed "10SHOTLH" marking on the end cap make it impossible to confuse with standard magazines. This design choice keeps you from accidentally grabbing a wrong mag during a competition or range session. The black plastic body with steel feed lips is the same durable construction you'd expect from Ruger's factory magazines, tested to handle thousands of rounds without any degradation in reliability.
Why These Magazines Matter
Left-handed 10/22 owners face a unique challenge that standard ammunition can't solve. When you're working with an ambidextrous platform like most AR-15s or traditional rifles, you've got options. The 10/22 isn't built that way. Ruger's left-handed Competition model is a completely new rifle design, and it demands magazines engineered specifically for it. The LX-1 fills that gap with the same straightforward, proven design philosophy that makes the 10/22 platform so reliable in the first place. The 10-round rotary format keeps the magazine flush with the stock, so it won't snag or interfere whether you're shooting prone, from a bench, or through magazine changes in rapid succession.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a standard right-hand 10/22 magazine work in my left-handed rifle?
No. Left-hand and right-hand 10/22 magazines are not interchangeable. The LX-1 rotates counter-clockwise for right-to-left feeding, while standard magazines rotate clockwise. A right-hand magazine won't even load properly in a left-handed receiver, so you need left-hand specific magazines like the LX-1 for your rifle to function correctly.
How do I identify this as a left-hand magazine?
The LX-1 has two easy identifiers: a green follower (instead of the red follower on standard magazines) and an embossed "10SHOTLH" marking on the end cap. These marks ensure you won't accidentally grab the wrong magazine when you have multiple calibers or rifles at the range.
What rifles does the LX-1 work with?
The LX-1 is designed exclusively for factory-original Ruger 10/22 rifles with left-hand feed and ejection. This includes Ruger's Custom Shop Competition left-handed model. It will not work with right-handed 10/22 models or any other rimfire platform.
Is this a genuine Ruger factory magazine?
Yes, the LX-1 is a genuine Ruger factory accessory, not an aftermarket magazine. It uses the same construction standards and materials (black plastic with steel feed lips) as Ruger's standard rotary magazines, giving you factory-level reliability and durability.
