Guns "based on" the real deal are probably more okay than exact replicas.
STALKER, Battlefield, and others do it for that reason(and the case ejection) but Counter Strike did it to be left handed and cool('cause the designer was left handed).

I'm not aware of any digital IP law which regulates the appearance of weapons in visual media (with PEOPLE, it's another story). The only thing that's regulated are the names, which is why game developers often have to make up fictional names for the guns.
Excalibur and AdAstra are right - the left-hand ejection ports are there because everyone thinks it looks cool to see the action of the gun working and the brass flying out.
