I purchased a new gun this weekend, a Glock 17, and was able to get some range time in with some friends.
So I started shooting and much of the brass was hitting me instead of going off to my side. This was weird because 3 other people shot my gun without the issue.
It was pointed out that I was unconsciously bringing it more to the left side when aiming. This would make sense as I am strongly left eye dominant. I emptied three 17 round magazines with less than stellar results. Just to see how I would do I emptied one magazine left handed and shot MUCH better actually even though it was the first time shooting a handgun lefty.
Anyone else have experience with left eye dominant issues? Rather than retraining my eyes, I am considering switching to shooting lefty thinking it will more than make up for the difference in hand coordination.
