There are advantages and disadvantages, but I highly suggest traing with the dominant eye, regardless of which hand they shoot from and/or are dominant with. If you go left handed though, you don't have to shoot a left handed gun, and they can be more expensive. My main thinking on a left handed gun, is that Others may not be able to shoot my gun. Dependin on your situation, that may be disired or avoided. My wife and I share and swap guns all the time, and I have no doubt that she can use every gun I own, because I won't buy a gun unless both of us can use it, though she doesn't have to care for my everday carry choice, she still shoots its when we practice too.
Common Pros:
Ease of loading with dominant hand.
Easy to push safety on. (Most shotguns)
Harder turn off safety, tends to require a more intentional change. (Most shotguns)
Ability to draw handgun while still holding long-gun.
Common Cons:
Some safety's are not accessable to left handed shooters.
Bull pup are generally off limits.
Some carbines have one sided mag release buttons making for funky mag changes.
More expensive "left handed" models.
Some semi-auto's may be undesirable to shoot due to ejection ports.
I (was) law enforcement, and I carried a glock. What do you mean he "twisted" it? When I sight, I do it just the same as anybody else, but I align it to my left eye, Im not sure why somebody would need to tilt their handgun to alogn with their left eye.carlson1 wrote:My son is in LE and carry's a Glock. He is right handed and left eye dominant He simply just twists the pistol to the left - problem solved.
