    Default Eye Dominant

    I am right handed yet partially blind in my right eye, i learned to shoot left handed at Benning(38/40) with an M16, now i have a Sr9, which is better in your opinion.... firing left handed or right handed with my head cocked using my left eye?

    I am right handed and left eye dominate, its no biggie, and not too uncommon.

    Shoot right handed.
    You should be keeping both eyes open.
    I turn my head about one inch right so that my left eye moves over to where the right eye was. And I shoot just fine.

    I am very left eye dominant with a astigmatism in my right eye. I shoot left handed, its much easier for me, especially with scopes, I shoot archery left handed as well
    The first vehicles normally on the scene of a crime are ambulances and police cruisers. If you are armed you have a chance to decide who gets transported in which vehicle, if you are not armed then that decision is made for you.

    Be prepared, because someone else already is and no one knows their intent except them.

    I was speaking on pistol shooting. Long guns are another matter, and a lot will depend on application and the individual.
