I fully agree with 8-bore on the "Left" side lever. I am right handed & find a left hand lever a natural for a right hand shooter. Your thumb is already on that side of the grip, just flick it down to open.

Don't much care if the "Wonko" likes one or not, having turned the big 80 I am old enough to have formed a few opinions on my own.

As to the rest of the gun I would prefer a 28" barreled 16 gauge.@ around 6-6Ľ lb.
