Shooting an R1 left handed

[Eclipse]

I've been camping out on the Benelli website and drooling over the R1 for a future elk hunt. The bad news is I'm left handed. Before I buy an R1 I need to know if the ejected shells will hit me in the face. Anyone out there shooting an R1 left handed and willing to share their experiences?

I shoot mine LH'd with no problems at all.
The shell is ejected forward and to the side and it has no chance of hitting you.

Eclipse--My brother, a Lefty, shot my R1 all afternoon last month and had not one problem. He loved it.
