Firing a gun with either hand

Thought a laugh would help us get through all this rainy weather.

Dammit... how many times do I have to tell you people... I'M NOT BALD!

As luck would have it... I *did* buy a gun I can shoot with either hand.

OUCH is an understatement. Hope that hand works well after that mishap.

My hand and I are healing nicely.

I've been shooting with it for about a month now. My 'oops' was just after Christmas.

Thanks for the kind words.

Curm, you had to show your "big dummy" wounds again. Lol.

I'm lucky. My grandmother can shoot with either hand and can shoot just as good either way.

I can shoot with either hand but not quite as good as I can with my right hand.

Of course, shooting ability with your "off" hand is debatable. Does hitting a mansize steel target at 300yds, offhand, lefthanded with a .380 HiPoint count as accurate?

Holy crap! How did I miss that thread?

First, I’m glad you are okay and healing up nicely.

Second, have you thought about buying or building a first aid/medical kit to deal with stuff like that? Towels kind of suck for stopping bleeders, especially arterial bleeders.
