Actually, I do notice the eject path of all my Gen2 T97 tends to go 45 degrees forward. I shot 200 rounds and not a SINGLE brass hit the area in or behind the bench. They all ended up at my 1:30 O'clock direction in front of me so I didn't have to sweep a single brass at all first time in my shooting day in my life. If yours is doing that it will be ok to shoot left handed regarding brass. But smoke, powder and gas etc is still gonna be a problem
