Ithaca makes a bottom load/eject as does Browning. Winchester has the 120/1200/1300 series of pumps in a youth model where the slide is position further back than normal (and a shorter length of pull) allowing short arms to pump without 'short shucking'. I bought my son a Winchester 120 when he was 12. They offered a full sized butt stock at a rebate so when he got older and his arms stretched he could change it. He still hunts with that same gun. All these pumps to the best of my knowledge can have the safety reversed by a gunsmith or someone with a bit of mechanical aptitude. FWIW!

When contemplating doing this on my Beretta I decided it was a very bad idea. Consider this; Once you are used to operating the gun with the safety reversed and end up using another gun with the safety operating normal, you will probably find yourself putting the gun on safe when you think you are putting it on fire and worse yet putting it to fire when you think you have put it to safe. A friend borrowing your gun is probably even more likely to make this mistake because he is not as used to the reversed safety as you are.

Some simply reverse, but some take a part change to go left-handed. My Ithaca 37 bottom loader/ejector is a good left-handed choice, but you do have to spend a few dollars on a left-handed safety button, which slides in after you drop the trigger assembly out of the frame.
