Left hand or right hand shooting?

[sugarray]

Thank you all.

I'm about 97% sure I'll get a right-hand model as I have checked out some new pistols and was able to easily focus on the front sight with both eyes open. Hopefully, it'll be just as clear when I try my current setup with both eyes open. The red dot won't be sharp, but that's no big deal.

my 1911 has nice fiber optic sights,makes it easier.my 92 fs doesn't but it's a 9mm,so the thing stays where you point it anyway. my smith and wesson magnums are just for making noise so i don't worry too much about being accurate,and they're more fun for me when i shoot single action anyway.gives me time to reaquire the target anyway.

I can shoot either. I prefer right if shooting freehand. Need to aim in the leftdue to left eye dominance

Well said.

I never lose sight picture either.

Like you I have to adjust for pistol. No biggie.

I am right hand

I am right handed but left eye dominant and when shooting a shotgun I keep both eyes open and point the gun at what I want to hit. Most of my rifles have scopes that I can adjust the focus for the right eye and several other rifles and pistols have a Red Dot or Holographic sights that enable me to keep both eyes open. With iron sighted pistols I just adjust my stance and sight with my left eye while holding right handed. Years ago when I was learning to shoot clay pigeons with a shotgun, I had a wise friend that watched me shoot and he asked why I was closing one eye. I said that is how I aim, he replied that there is a big difference between shooting at a moving target with a shot shell with a spread of up to several feet in diameter vs a single rifle bullet. Just my experience.
