I know this is a weird question but here goes.
By most things natural, I’m a lefty. Write lefty, shoot a rifle and shotgun lefty. Swing a baseball bat or golf club righty. I’m a better shot with a pistol righty and it “feels” more natural but am left eye dominate. When I shoot righty with a pistol with both eyes open my left eye takes over and sight with my left eye. If I close my left eye, I can aim and shoot with my right eye but feels un-natural. Of course, this is in a practice situation. I’d rather do what comes natural, especially in a self-defense situation, and aim with my left eye but shoot holding the weapon with my right hand.
In the past, I’ve always gotten handguns with ambidextrous safeties. I’m looking for a new gun and am considering one without ambi safety, obviously not a striker fired one.
Do you weapons expert, or average Joe’s, see any problems with this? How should I deal with this?
