I don't know, but I love left-handed holsters even though I am right handed. I wear them on my strong side and prefer the butt of the gun pointing forward.
Describe your draw sequence . . .

Holster well back over right hip. Reach and draw. . .right hand palm out.

What's a range kit?
Exactly what I pictured. Most firearms instructors and range officers I know would pass out as the muzzle passes your hip, liver and right kidney, but hey, who am I to judge. Good luck with that . . .

Holster version of what old hands called " mexican carry"
Or Magnum (PI) carry, when political correct hit the range.

No, it only comes with a right hand holster.
I've seen a few guys do this backward gun thing. All the ones I've seen are much slower and their accuracy is poor. There is no advantage to this method. However, if it's working for you, continue.
For the record: you wouldn't be allowed to use that method at any competition or most ranges I've been to.

LH holsters can be hard to find.
I have been in stores which had a 1,000 holsters but only a few LH.
I still don't know what a LH range kit is.
But in any case, you need to start with a nylon LH belt holster which is made for your gun.
Uncle Mike's or similiar, black, camo or other. They are made for just about every gun ever made and you can order them online.
Later on, you can move up into a more expensive leather factory or custom made holster.
Forget all this cross draw, butt draw and other weird variations.
You need to start with a regular strong side , left for us, holster.

No there are no guns that come from the factory with LH holstsrs. As a lefty I have to buy all my holsters separately. But to be honest those range kit holsters are pretty bad. I wouldn't use it for anything more than a door stop
MJK,
I also am LH. For my M&P9c, I use the Stealthgear Omni IWB holster. A little pricy, but the comfort & style are well worth the investment. For my OWB holster, I use a Bravo Concealment, RTT zero cant holster. It is a quick draw, fits tight to my body & conceals perfectly. For my VP9 I use a holster from a company called, Hazmatholsterworks.com. This is a solid retaining holster, yet it gives you a very positive draw. I use the pancake loops with this & it fits very tight to my side. It conceals really well.
My suggestion is to look around the net for holsters. Decide what type you would like, first. I prefer the Kydex holsters over the leather. Everyone has their own preference. Back in the western days, they had only one choice. Today, we have many.
Hope this info is helpfull. If you need anything else, send me a PM.

Amazon and online websites for the various manufacturers have been a boon for finding left hand holsters. I prefer Blackhawk and Fobus kydex paddles for semi auto, but I also like Eagle Industries for ballistic nylon. The few revolvers I carry go in Galco Tuck and Go's.

The good old "Cavalry Twist". I prefer this draw for revolvers myself. Luckily, I'm left handed so I can always find a righty holster to use.
Almost everyone will custom make a holster for leftys. Its the same but backwards. I've ordered several that are really reasonably priced from On Your Six, but there are many.
Go to the gun shows and there will be holster sellers there, and they will take your order and ship you JUST what you want.
Leather OR Kydex. My latest is Kydex with a Leather Lining. Awesome and smooth.
Regarding the Cross Draw. Biggest concern is Sweeping others with the draw. Strong side allows the gun to be pulled straight up, and then rotated forward toward the target.
This supports the No 1 NRA Safety Rule.
Always Keep the Gun Pointed in a Safe Direction.

I never knew what a " Range kit " was, but that don't matter, I shoot SASS, and thus shoot both LH and RH. Not as good left handed, but still fun.
I make my own holsters, so my LH fits perfect for my various sidearm.
Thank you
