Why did NAA make their Side winder swing to the Right?

I own a number of NAA products, more of their firearms than any other brand, but I am disappointed they produced the Side winder to open to the right it is awkward to manipulate and defeats the purpose of fast reloads. No gun manufacturer S&W, Ruger, Taurus uses right side open and ejection. Why?

  Welcome there new guy ,at least to me , if it swung to the left they would not have been made by those democrats  and started painting them pick and blue , oh wait a minute !!!.  Retraction on those colorful ones .  ;)  ;)  ;)

I can only think the designer/developer was left handed. LOL!  ::)
Truth is there should be no reasonable scenario to hurry in reloading the NAA revolvers. 
If you have failed to hit your desired target in 5 shots it's doubtful you do much better with the next 5 IMHO.







 
you may not need it but you should have it

even with a swing out cylinder it still wouldnt be a fast reload. the fastest reload with an NAA mini is an extra loaded cylinder. it you practice you can get to do it very quickly. if you need to reload quickly the best reload is a second NAA mini

Third choice is fast feet with good sneakers . Quite frankly like was said if you can't hit your target with the original cylinder loads you shouldn't have been there to begin with . Run my man run or play dead . ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)

If I remember correctly, when the Sidewinder was introduced, it was stated that due to the small size of the piece, the cylinder had to swing to the right to fit the required parts of the lock work in.  They would not fit with a left side opener.
