Default Am I really left handed?

So I was at the range this weekend trying to get control of the SW9VE. I can barely keep it on the paper. With my .45 I do pretty good. With the .22 I can group in to a 50 cent piece.

So never having had any real instruction,besides what Frenchy showed me(Thanks), I was watching some videos on the proper grip. It said the barrel should be in line with the wrist and forearm.

So I did a little dry fire practicing and noticed something odd. My .45 is a Hipoint and has a rather fat grip, but when I hold it it falls in line with my arm. The .22 is a Ruger 22/45 and it lines right up. The SW9VE doesn't line up.

Here what's odd. If I twist my grip to get lined up, I can barely pull the trigger with my right hand. So for kicks I tried it left handed and it lined right up. And the trigger pull felt real easy.

I am left eye dominant, so is it possible I'm slightly left handed also?
