c&p pilot handle change
I finally bought a C&P Pilot and brought it home.
I noticed that the handle is on the left side and was wondering if it’s possible to change the handle to the right side.
Does anybody knows how to change it?
Thanks!

That’s easy! Just take off the handle and the collar on the other side that mounts where the handle would and swap one for the other. You’ll be good to go!
But are you sure you want the handle on the right? If you learn to print that way you’ll find it hard to switch up to a larger C&P when you’re ready. You need to feed the standard way in order to have your left hand available for the throw off lever.
