Both eyes has helped me in IDPA. It's easier to transition between targets and acquire a sight picture. I'm sure that applies to real life situations too.

Start by aiming with one eye as you normally do. Slowly open the weak eye and try to maintain the image you see. Continue to focus on the front sight. It will get blurry but that's part of training your eyes. If you lose the sight picture, close the weak eye and correct things. Get that sight picture back. Focus on the front sight then slowly open the weak eye again. Eventually, you'll get used to the picture and will be able to just aim like that.
