Forget all the suggestions to go with what is most comfortable, but do pay attention to practice the ability to shoot with both hands.So the only downside would be that I'd be forcing myself into a cross-dominant situation. So what do you think? Should I side with eye-dominance and shoot with the left hand, or side with the standardized world we live in and shoot with the right hand?
That's exactly right. I'm right-eyed, but as I got older I became far-sighted in the right eye, and unable to see the sights. But I'm near-sighted in the left eye, and the sights are needle sharp in that eye. I discovered the head-tilting method early, and learned to shoot with both eyes open. The left eye sees the sights in focus, the right eye sees the target, and the brain merges the two images.People having opposite eye dominant shooting with handguns problems has always baffled me.
My wife has this problem and I finally convinced her that all she needed to do was sight with her right eye and hold the gun still while barely rotating her head to where the left eye was lined with the sights and there you go.
I shoot with my right hand mostly but switch eyes if one gets tired. Gun never moves, just my head slightly swivels on my neck.
That's how my wife shoots. She's a lefty and left eye dominant, but she shoots right handed with pistols and just rolls her head over slightly.I was watching Hickock45 on youtube, and heard him mention that he's actually cross-dominant. He explained that he shoots right-handed, but has a dominant left eye so he shifts his head and/or hold to align his left eye with the sights of a handgun held in his right hand. This option had never occurred to me before. And now the more I think about it, the more I think it makes a lot of sense for me. I'm quite new to this whole handgun thing, so the only muscle-memory I'd have to fight/re-train would be from arcade games in my youth and a CO2 pistol I had years ago. Would I be better off starting from day 1 as a right-handed hand-gun shooter using my left eye? I've

Pernell Robert's character on the show was neither left handed nor the middle son. The character, Adam, was the eldest son. The middle son was Hoss. The youngest son, Little Joe, was left handedDidn’t the middle son on Bonanza,,,was it Pernell Roberts?? Teach himself to handle his gun left handed, cause he was right handed, and was concerned his right hand might be busy, rolling a cigarette, or something, when he needed his gun??????
