Try being left handed, right eye dominant.
I've heard that at one time, people believed that being Left-handed was a sign that you were "In liege (sic) with the Devil."
Check the definition of the word "sinister." Yeah, we had it good if all we got was a slap on the wrist (literally) for trying to write left-handed in grade school. Wasn't too long ago, they thought you were worshiping the devil and just stoned you to death.
Same thing in other sports, too.
F'rinstance, how many "Lefty" golfers do you see? Phil Mickleson is the only Lefty pro I can think of, off the top of my head. A lot more Righty than Lefty baseball guys, too.
That might hold with golf or baseball, but it doesn't with fencing; rather, it doesn't hold with Olympic gold medalist fencers. Last I checked over 50% of those athletes compete(d) left-handed. It just depends on the sport.
But in general, yeah, you learn to adapt. As a boon, revolvers and ARs are neutral (maybe even lefty leaning with ambi controls on the latter). Everything else? Try shooting in Production division IPSC/USPSA or SSP division IDPA as a left handed shooter. Good luck with that. I bought an M&P 9mm specifically for Prod/SSP and was thoroughly disappointed. Maybe with a bit of tinkering (and JBWeld) the tiny, rounded little slide stop can be made into a usable release for a lefty, but that puts you in ESP division IDPA. (Not sure if you still qualifiy for Production IPSC or not, but hey, shooting a .36" hole at minor PF is plenty competitive in Limited or L10 so it shouldn't matter too much...)
Left handed IPSC Grandmasters? TGO comes to mind, but he shoots righty. You don't really have much of a choice. All the right handers talking the "just use your trigger finger for the mag release, it might even be faster!"nonsense haven't considered that if that were the case, all the right handed IPSC shooters would be running left-handed mag releases.
No, you pretty much learn to run right handed (like everything else from manual transmissions to scissors) and clean up on the weak-hand only stages.
