I am left handed & right eye dominant. Most left handed people have to make adjustments to a predominantly right handed world & I'm no exception. I shoot handguns & rifles as a right handed person as my right eye is dominant. I also perform other, but not all, things as a right handed person. I am definitely not ambidexterous (spelling?).
My concern is associated with revolver reloading skills. All the instruction I've received stresses the reload is to be performed with the strong side hand with the weak side hand holding the revolver. Despite continuing practice with this procedure, it just seems unnatural to me.
All the revolvers I'm familiar with have the cylinder opening on the left side. After ejecting spent rounds, it seems to me it would be faster to utilize my weak side hand to accomplish the reload. In my case, my left hand which provides more dexterity than my right hand.
I'm looking for others who may be in this same situation and any suggestions they might be able to provide. I'm definitely more proficient in accomplishing the reload task in my Aardvark fashion. What rules would I be violating it I wanted to participate in revolver competitions. I'm just trying to improve my proficiency and most public ranges do not allow the type of activity I want to practice. Consequently I'm looking at competitive shooting.
Sorry to be so long winded.
