As a left hander, you actually have some advantages in running the Kalashnikov.
Firing hand on the pistol grip, you can use your off hand to work the action, change magazines, and work the selector.
To disengage the safety, I'd use a magwell hold, and then come back and sweep the selector down with my right hand as I'm bringing the rifle up. I would then MOVE my support hand up to the handguard, rather than keep the magwell hold while engaging targets.
As far as the cocking handle hitting you while transitioning to handgun, use your off hand to guide the rifle down as your strong hand grips and presents the handgun.
