Detailed Features 

The Turkish walnut stock is the visual centerpiece. The grain pattern varies per gun, but the wood is dense enough to hold a good finish and comfortable enough for extended shooting. Five interchangeable choke tubes (F, IM, M, IC, C) give flexibility for different hunting distances and target sports. The single selectable trigger lets the shooter choose which barrel fires first without changing grip position. The manual tang safety sits naturally under the thumb. At 7.4 lbs the gun is heavy enough to absorb 12-gauge recoil well without feeling sluggish on a bird swing. 
 
The Southpaw configuration moves the safety and selector to accommodate left-handed operation natively, rather than forcing a left-handed shooter to adapt a right-handed gun.

The CZ Drake Southpaw is well regarded among left-handed shooters who specifically sought out a purpose-built LH over/under rather than a right-handed gun.

The ergonomics for left-handed operation come up in almost every positive review. The fact that the gun was designed for this rather than modified makes a difference that owners notice. The Turkish walnut stock gets consistent praise for its appearance and feel, and the overall build quality is described as solid and well-finished for the price bracket. Field performance for upland hunting and clays is broadly positive.

Criticism is relatively light. Some users note the gun can feel heavy after extended field use at 7.4 lbs. Trigger pull consistency is occasionally flagged as varying slightly. Aftermarket accessories and holsters specific to the left-handed variant are harder to find than for standard right-handed models, which limits customization options for some buyers.
