I'm left eye dominant and right handed. I shoot rifles and shotguns left handed, pistols right handed. It does make life a bit more complicated. I have found that with enough presentations to my right eye I can pick up the sight quite well. The problem is it feels unnatural to me. Even as a kid I aimed toy rifles this way and I actually do a number of things left handed (not sure if because of eye dominance or because I always had some left handed tendencies as a kid). If he puts some time into it, even practicing manipulations and presentations at home with a cleared weapon, I imagine he could get it to work. My question though would be does it really present that much of a benefit?
