I'm not a Lefty but due to eye sight I shoot left handed. The Henry's are great. No issues with brass ejection. I wish I could say the same about a lot of semi auto 22's. Some throw not only brass but hot powder crumbs in your eyes.

My Big Boy 44 mag with left handed stock cover.

Shooting any weapon left handed, pistol or rifle, you have the advantage of seeing into the chamber. As long as the brass doesn't hit you you are fine. The Henry is an ambi design because it is not shouldered during loading. These are some reasons I bought mine.

A,little late to the post, but I just got my 1st lever, as a lefty I love it. Pretty much lefties have to adapt to what the gun manufactures provide. I practice both left andcriggt hand gun shooting, and I have to say, I am quicker releasing my slide on my glock, with my index finger, than trying to shoot right handed and using the standard controls! My friends watch me load my glock, release the slide with my index finger and drop the mag with the,same finger. All about adapting to what you have

I'm a lefty. I've always shot right hand guns. Never bothered me.
