Eye dominance and hand dominance with regards to accurate pistol shooting

I'm right handed, but am left eye dominant--- I need to lead my sights with my left eye. Due to practice and comfort, I shoot all of my rifles left handed. However, pistols are another story.

When I hold my pistols two handed, it's always with the right hand first, with the left wrapped around it. This way, I either have to cock my head to adjust my view, or squeeze my right right eye shut and shoot one-eyed. My accuracy is good shooting this way.

When shooting one handed, left handed, my groupings are just as accurate as when I shoot two-handed/righty! I can also keep both eyes open.

When shooting two handed with my left hand leading, it feels VERY uncomfortable and my groupings go to pot.

Btw: I shoot weaver style for all my range shooting, to emulate a "tactical" situation. I may apply to work as an armored car guard part time, which is why I want to get very comfortable with shooting my pistol naturally without having to "cock" my head or worry which hand I'll be using to shoot with.

Any suggestions?
