I did that for a while, but I went back to shooting with my right hand as primary. I shoot about as accurately with my left, but I'm just more comfortable shooting handguns right handed. It isn't that hard for me to lean my head and use my left eye, even using the weaver stance. It's only a couple of inches of head movement.

Even with the nerve problem on my right side, I still shot rifles right handed until about five years ago. Then one day I was looking at a doe through my scope and got tired of my depth perception changing, so I switched shoulders. I took a couple of rifles (one scoped and one with irons) to the range and started shooting lefty. Sometimes it's good to break yourself down. I actually cleaned up some bad habits in form by re-teaching myself how to shoot.
