I'm naturally left-handed, but due to near-sightedness in my left (dominant) eye, I usually shoot right-handed. When shooting, though, I try to shoot left at least 1/3 of the time, rotating between right, both, left, both and so on. If you REALLY want to practice patience, try loading a magazine with the off-hand!!! Hello, Mas; I linked over from the EOTAC forum, and finally got caught up with your blog entries.

Every time I go to the range I shoot left only, right only, left with right support, and right with left support. I carry left, but would not be at all uncomfortable with carrying right. If you get locked in to doing something (almost anything) only one way, you will be helpless if you cannot do it that way. Besides, didn't somebody say something about variety being the spice of life?
