I am also right handed / left eye dominant. I grew up bird hunting and always closed my left eye when shooting a shotgun. One day my dad was taking pics in the blind and asked, "do you always close your eye when you shoot?" I remember thinking, "Don't you?" I didn't know any other way.

Today, I'm trying to learn to shoot long guns with both eyes open but still naturally close my left eye. I know it's not ideal, but it has always worked well for me before. I don't see that I'm going to truly "fix" it now. Since taking up the pistol, I have learned to align my weapon so that I am looking through the sites with my left eye by simply moving the gun a little to the left and turning my head a little to the right. I cannot always get my first aim as quickly as I'd like, but I'm fairly accurate. A lot of my dry fire practice is simply learning to find the sites and target quicker.
