Took the Coonan out a bit ago, I'm LH, shoot better RH.

Anyone else that way. Never tried a handgun RH before, but damn. I know dang well I can't shoot a long gun RH, aint no way, but, now I gotta get new RH holsters. At least those are readily available compared to LH holsters, lol.

I'm sort of the same way. I'm left handed but my right side is stronger. I started out shooting hand guns left handed. Even got my carry permit shooting lefty. But when I started getting larger caliber hand guns my left wrist couldn't handle it, but my right wrist could. Just had to learn to sight with the right eye. It all feels natural now. I can still shoot up to 9mm left handed if needed, but my .45s and .357mag go in the right hand only.

I'm ambidextrous and when I shot bullseye,I shot right handed.Now I'm getting into more of the combat,action shooting,I practice using both,but I do shoot a "tighter" group right handed. I keep both eyes open with either Aimpoint or open sights,long gun is righty only. The twist of the barrel does have an effect on shots as when I shoot lefty,my groups move right 99% of the time. I mostly shoot 45 ACP .38 and .357 mag revolvers.

I teach martial arts, and the same is true for my students. They're often better than they think with their non-dominant hand or foot, and I think it's a very good thing to know how to use both left and right sides (especially in a self defense situation).

Makes sense. now I can carry on both sides lol. An SP101 and a Coonan, a tad bit different size though, lol

Same caliber though....................................... ;)
