Goes on the side of the dominant hand.
Never occurred to me that I've never shot any firearm left handed. Wouldn't start with a pistol but I kinda wanna try it now with a rifle lol.
If I shoot anything like I throw left handed tho my curiosity will prolly kill the neighbors cat. Unless it is more than 3ft away, then it's completely safe lol.
I carry a LCP, (subcompact .380). I practice two hand, right hand, left hand. I also always try and shoot a magazine or two with sunglasses on at an indoor range to simulate low light conditions.
It has like a three inch barrel, so it's not the most accurate or easy to aim. I only shoot it at seven yards.
It's nasty to shoot, lot of kick. I call it the Angry Cricket. Trigger pull is heavy as it is a double action with no safety. I carry it with one in the pipe.
Hope I never have to use it, but if I do, I will be as accurate as possible. That's the ethical thing to do as I see it.
If one owns weapons, I'd say it's a decent idea to learn some dexterity with the non-dominant hand.
Yeah...imagine actually getting in a gun fight and getting shot in the hand/arm only to then be completely useless.
Get training that lefty (or righty if you are a lefty!)
Exactly.
Yeah id ageee in theory but I feel like I should start in a batting cage or swinging lefty golfing. I am not in the slightest bit ambidextrous lol
You are not alone, I'm right there with you!
That was one of the requirements for getting a concealed carry license in the state I did it, six shots left, reload, six shots right, reload then depending on which target distance you were at either 6 shots on one knee or just another 6 shots dominant hand, but you had to do both short and long range and hit a certain percentage on the target.
That's excellent! In case of necessary circumstances, that's the way. I aim to get my act together in short order, before it's necessary. Wish me luck, please and thank you.
I needed that literal lol. It's been a long day! Thank you!
Exactly, and that's why you have your sidearm holster on the right. So the breakfast gun goes on the left to make dual-wielding easier, all while freeing your right hand to scoop eggs and bacon into your mouth.
