I don’t post a ton, and try to only post on something I have relevant experience with, but I find myself needing some help.
I have been shooting over 20 years now, but for the most part it has been purely recreationally and sporadic at best due to financial situations during my adult life. I have taken a few one day, local shooting classes but have not had an serious gun school time.
Historically, I have written (poorly), thrown, batted and shot right handed. As a kid, through scouting and the archery badge, we figured out I am left eye dominant, and my parents told me as a young child, I favored my left hand, but as I grew up, I used my right hand more and more.
With that history in mind, here is my recent discovery and the thing that caused my dilemma.
I recently was fortunate enough to get to start shooting more often and took advantage the other day.
Because it had been awhile since I shot a pistol, I started with my Glock 44 just to kind of ease in. The last few times I had been shooting, I tried to spend some time shooting with my non-dominant (left) hand. As I was shooting with my left hand with the Glock 44, my groupings were tighter and I seemed to be more accurate left handed.
Assuming it was fluke, I moved on to my 9mm pistols, a Glock 17 and P2000 LEM and P30 LEM. As I shot those pistols, I fired some left handed and the same level of accuracy persisted as I had with the Glock 44.
To be honest, this has me shook. It makes me wonder if I should try to switch to shooting left handed or if there is another cause to the result/problem. Could it be because my support hand was stronger?
Any suggestions anyone has would be appreciated.
