That's exactly what I was thinking. I would need to bow down and say "We're not worthy!"Somebody's got to ask...
So, it that a picture of YOUR Savage 1907 .45 ACP U.S. Army test trial pistol????

why did pistols adopt right side ejections?
You can't see the toggle motion while shooting it, and I can no more (or less) see the brass ejecting from it than I can from my Glocks.The Luger toggle , on firing, blocks out the sights. Slows the sight recovery for the next shot. And you loose sight of the target. Did the perpetrator duck behind cover on the left or the right.
Sometimes I do get hit by ejected cases. I treat it like rain. I'm used to being hit by hot chips at work. I'm more often hit by cases that bounce off the wall of the booth at a range than anything else.
Most modern pistols have side eject because side extractors work better with controlled round feed guns like 1911s, Glocks, Sigs and Berettas.The explanation I was given was that there were two reasons:
A) the possibility that the ejected case could fall back into the gun and have to be cleared
B) for soldiers firing behind cover, the brass popping up gave away their position.
Neither seems particularly likely, though.
