The KO EX-1 can be converted wih a grip module. Its rather pricey. The old Futaba 3PJ was easy to convert and Spektrum DX6R can be changed.

Graupner also offers a lefty grip, plus they offer a 2 year warranty and Rx's average around $30 with 3 different models to choose based on your needs:

I have several extra Rx's that I'm willing to sell for $20 each
I currently race with the X-8N and it's been great for me over the past 2+ years... and looking to upgrade to the X-8E soon

Most high end transmitters including the M12s, 4px, 7px and Kopropo with lefty grip.

What is your budget for a radio? And last time you was in the hobby did you use a left hand radio? Reason I ask is because I learned RC right handed (no such thing as left hand radios back then). After left hand/right radios came out i decided to convert my new radio to left hand. Could not drive at all after so many years of a right hand radio.

I learned to use a right handed radio in the early 1990's.... I was in my 40's then... and still use a right handed radio.
I also Shoot a gun with my right hand ... for a different reason.

Thanx, chuck thehammer, yes, it probably is just that I only signed up today. It's no worry, I just thought a picture or two might explain how I made my Skyfly FS GT-3C into an inexpensive LHS radio. It was a cheaper option than converting my old HiTec Lynx 3D to 2.4Ghz. Unlike you I cannot drive with RH steering, (most over here in the U.K. used sticks back in the day). I do hold scissors in my right hand tho', !!!!
