I think a lot of officials do not call this, so most think it is legal. You probably have a few officials in your area that get more travels than others. What do you think?

I think the only potential question is whether that right foot came back down. Lots of players use a "step through" where they step, then step again with their pivot foot but shoot (or pass) before it touches the floor.
Some coaches go nuts on this when we don't call it, thinking that there mere lifting of the pivot is a travel. Others go nuts because officials call it when they shouldn't. I read your post to mean he put the pivot back down before shooting, but I can see how the OP could be read another way.
