I’m a righty primarily, but shoot w/ both hands, and my camera hand is my right one. I taught myself to shoot ambidextrously, in case of taking a hit on my right hand/arm.

I’m the same way- Ambi. Son-in-Law is a PA Game Warden and We were at the Range one day and noticed I was swapping R/L hands and asked about it. I would think they would train for it. I know He does now.

I saw a Show years ago showing Combat Alternative options. One was Racking the Slide one handed using a stationary object like the edge of a corner of wood, wall, window frame or anything to put the edge of the Nose of Your Slide on the object and push forward on the Grip to Cycle a Round out from a jam, misfire or release the slidelock after a Mag change while wounded in one hand or arm.

I’m a portsider, packed 1911 nearly everyday the three years I was in the army. After getting out several years later, I bought two left handed Randall’s, one the LeMay and the other a match pistol with adjustable sights. They are good shooters. Also, have the Beretta 92F which replaced the 1911 and keep in truck console. It’s more portsider friendly, has ambidextrous safety and mag release can be configured on either side of grip.
