I am left hand pistol shooter and right eye dominant.. This is what I discovered.

At close range with 10yards I can keep both eyes open and just move my arm slightly to the right and lean my head slightly to the left. This is what "feels" best and I am accurate within this distance.

At anything beyond 10yard, usign the above shooting style will seriously effect accuracy. The only way I can correct this problem at distances beyone 10 yards is to close my right eye. I dont like to close an eye while shooting but this was the only way to compensate for my problem.

I feel that as least I can shoot with both eyes open within your typical self defense distance and be fine.
