It cycles amazing too. The angle where your forefinger touches it during cycling is perfect

It's going to get tested out here today. We shall see just how fast I can get her to run

It took me awhile to figure out you don’t cycle them the same way as the standard lever where you use the back of all your fingers.

The angle of the lever from where the trigger guard is is much straighter and that is where I use the side of my forefinger. If you use the back of your hand on large loops it is too slow. This is especially true with my custom large loops. On the left is the ‘Rifleman’ lever, center is a ‘Rio Bravo’ lever and to the right is the Henry large loop.
If you want to shoot like Chuck Connors keep your forefinger in the trigger guard and cycle with your middle finger.
