so here we go
im a left handed person that does everything right handed,except write and draw..i catch left and throw right.hold my drink in my right everything but i can pass off to my left if need be and stil have control..i can shoot right or left handed with a psitol but only right with a rifle...but im so right eye dominant that i cant even think about ligning up the sight on a rifle with my left eye.and this causes the problem with pistol shooting...
now shooting right handed feels natural i can line up the sight easlily and fell comfortable.i started shooting right because i do everything with my right and thats just how i learned... using 2 hands or single hand.
shooting left hand if shooting with both hands i hold it the same as right handed only in revers grip but the pistol tilted toards the 1 oclock position to line up with my right eye,,if i shoot 1 handed i end up leaning the pistol towards the 2 oclock position,,not full gangster lean but somewhere inbetween gangster and proper 12 oclock,,,i line the sights up very easy and fast this way..if i make a concentrated effort i can shoot it in the 12 oclock but if i just raise and shoot it will be leaning to the side./ <--about that angle maybe a little more..
even tho i shoot right handed 80% of the time i think with some more practice i could shoot just as well with my left hand maybe even a little better,i think i could do faster reloads,clear the chamber faster with my right hand wile holding it with my left...,i switch from right to left will practicing easily the only thing that changes is the grip and the angle of the pistol...sometimes ill shoot 1/2 a mag with a right hand then switch to left inbetween shots and all that changes is the angle of my head,,,i have to move my right eye behind the sight of the pistol,,,but if i lean the pistol i can hold the same position......
so after all that trying to explain my problem,,,should i make myself shoot with my left hand with no lean or should i embrace the lean as long as i can effectivley hit what i am aiming at...
any advice will help,,thanks
