      Never occurred to me that I’ve never shot any firearm left handed. Wouldn’t start with a pistol but I kinda wanna try it now with a rifle lol.

      If I shoot anything like I throw left handed tho my curiosity will prolly kill the neighbors cat. Unless it is more than 3ft away, then it’s completely safe lol.

        If one owns weapons, I’d say it’s a decent idea to learn some dexterity with the non-dominant hand.

          That was one of the requirements for getting a concealed carry license in the state I did it, six shots left, reload, six shots right, reload then depending on which target distance you were at either 6 shots on one knee or just another 6 shots dominant hand, but you had to do both short and long range and hit a certain percentage on the target.

            That’s excellent! In case of necessary circumstances, that’s the way. I aim to get my act together in short order, before it’s necessary. Wish me luck, please and thank you.

          Yeah…imagine actually getting in a gun fight and getting shot in the hand/arm only to then be completely useless.

          Get training that lefty (or righty if you are a lefty!)

    The gun is on the correct side of the plate for a right hand shooter, but should be laying on it’s left side so that it can be picked up from above with the right hand. </s>

      No, left side is correct for the breakfast gun.

      A gun that size isn’t actually big enough for situations where you need a gun, it’s just meant to provide cover fire while you get a bigger better gun. You’ll be using your left hand to fire the cover gun, so that your right hand is available for picking up the bigger gun. This has the additional benefit of leaving your dominant hand free to eat with.

    There’s not nearly enough butter on that toast, not enough eggs, and where’s the sausage? In Florida the breakfast gun goes on the dominant side with the grip out. Once alcohol is served the slide will be locked back. In particularly liberal circles the magazines will also be popped out. We aren’t savages.
