3D & Animation Left and Right handed models

I have noted that there seems to be a problem with having left and right handed view models on Unreal Engine games (noted this on KF).
I was told that to have left handed models one would have to literally remake the right handed model into left handed.

Now this is a major problem, as in games using even the old GoldSrc engine you can flip the models via a kinda of "model mirror".
Can this be done in UE games as well?

I am actually amazed at the lack of recent games that don't give you the ability to choose between right or left handed view models.

I would to implement this in Ultramar, and if Butters can get the coding to work, to get characters show this on 3rd person view.
