Both Glenn and smince are quite right.

I broke my right hand in TKD long time ago and found out I was a rotten shot with my left using my Colt Commander .45 I used back then.

And I've many times jammed my fingers in TKD as well as other sports (and had to shoot a IPSC or IDPA match with jammed fingers the next day!!)

So don't handicap yourself. Keep the weapon fully loaded and learn to at least be a passible shot with your weak side hand.
