As Chris above found out the hard way, unfortunately, left hand threaded ejector rods pre dated the 44 Magnum by almost 10 years.

Few know that the first left hand threaded ejector rods were introduced on the post war I frames in 1946 and the J frame in 1950.

The loosening of the right handed threads was definitely not limited to the 44 Mag.
