I am not a swat guy, but just wrapped up 20 years, and was an agency and academy firearms instructor for the last 10. We would have had him shoot a pistol with his right hand and use his dominant eye, and had him shoot the carbine and shotgun just as you described, using his left shoulder and dominant eye. That doesn’t mean it’s right, there’s more than one “way”, that’s just the way we would have done it.
