Have you ever carried a gun to be drawn with your weak hand?

I carry my BUG in a vertical draw right hand holster (a Don Hume J.I.T.) on the left side. I can draw it with the right hand as a standard crossdraw or the left with a twist draw. I have practiced both and am equally fast drawing with either hand.
 
When I go on long motorcycle trips, I carry a full-sized, high-capacity weapon (either a Taurus PT99 or a Glock 20) in a left-handed Uncle Mike's rig so I can continue to control the throttle and brake with my right.
I do practice left (weak) handed at the range but I DO NOT practice shooting from a moving motorcycle. Yet.
 
During the Winter I OC my .44 revolver on my strong side (left), and will slide my IWB tuckable .380 Bersa to the small of the back, making it a right hand draw BUG.
 
My primary carry position is on my "weak" right side, for my weaker right hand to draw. My right hand and arm used to be stronger. (Getting old has its down sides.) One big reason I tend to carry more than one handgun is so my left hand has easy access to a handgun, while my decades of reaching for my right hip in an emergency remains a valid action.

Having said that, I will really complicate things by saying I am, and have always, been a lefty, or more precisely, left-handed. Large, gross motor movements, such as handling large, heavy objects, always felt more natural when performed with the right hand and arm, whereas I favor my left hand for skilled tasks. So, I had a head start in being fairly ambidextrous with firearms. For a several reasons, it seemed wise to carry on the right hip: My first handgun was a 1911, before the day of the ambidextrous safety being commonplace, and when I became a police officer, it was the norm to patrol alone, one to a car, and weapon access was MUCH quicker and easier if the duty sixgun rode on the right hip. As I recall, learning how to draw a heavy duty-type handgun actually felt more natural wth my right hand, which was used to handling heavier objects and tools. (Texas had virtually no legal carry for private citizens back then, so I did not carry until I started wearing a badge.)

Also, decent lefty concealment leather was difficult to find back then, so that further motivated me to go ahead and make my right side the primary carry position.

I now have left and right concealment holsters for the SP101, P229, and assorted medium and medium-large-frame revolvers. If a doc ever finally cuts on my right wrist or shoulder, or if I break a bone or such on my right side, I am prepared to make my left side the primary carry position, temporarily or permanently. If an intrusion occurs while I am sleeping, I will have to deal with a splint being wrapped around my right wrist and hand, and if seconds count, my left hand will likely be my weapon hand. (I favor a long gun for HD, and use my shotguns lefty, anyway, being left-eye dominant; I can run the slide with the splint in place.)
 
bergman: "In our little town a police officer was wounded in his right (strong) arm. He was down and couldn't reach his right holstered handgun with his left so a ride-along assistant grabbed the gun, handed to the officer in his left hand and he shot the perp while he was trying to pry the shotgun loose in the patrol car. It was a nasty fight that the bad guy lost."

Two of the sergeants working for my PD were hit in the arms by bad guys' gunfire, though to be clear, one of them was hit in both arms, so he could not return fire at all. Stories of LE gun battles are full of examples of the need to be able to keep fighting when the shooting hand or arm is injured. The FBI's gun battle in Dade County in 1986 was a microcosm of this factor, as several agents sustained injuries to their arms or hands, and one agent's pistol was disabled by a bullet fired by Platt. (The agent was out of ammo by the time his pistol was struck, but what if he had been carrying a spare, or a second weapon? He had neither.)

The late, great Jim Cirillo advocated carrying multiple handguns, and believed in practicing with each hand. According to his bio, he carried three concealed revolvers and a PPK, the latter in very deep concealment, then stopped carrying the PPK. Of course, this was while he was active in law enforcement; his bio did not state when or if he reduced the number of weapons. I was blessed to attend one seminar with him, and did not think to ask him this question at the time.
 
YES

I often carry an LCP in my left front pocket. It always goes in the same pocket if I am carrying my 1911, which I usally am, or not. I often practice running my 1911 dry andf drawing my backup with my left hand and shooting it one handed. I am currently looking for the right left handed holster to carry a second 1911.:evil:
 
I carry two Airweights (642, 438). One is right-side OWB, the other is left back pocket. Given the snappy recoil, I load the left-hand one with standard-pressure Nyclads in case I have to shoot it one-handed. I can handle the +P one-handed with my right hand, though I wouldn't want to spend all day doing that at the range. ;)
