Have practiced a little. More the point shooting part not drawing. Mostly with a 1911 thats right handed controls. Eye opener getting that safety off.
You are a ray of f*cking sunshine.I aim to please.
Did the doctors and nurses freak out?

TOO FUNNY !Did the doctors and nurses freak out?
Have two. Actually had a failure to fire with my G27 and Federal hst last week. It went off the second time. Hope there isn't any more of those in the box.To quote Joe B: A four letter word... G-l-o-c-k!
Agree. Though I have read some secondary sources that doing "mirror training", i.e. training with everything reversed (weak hand performing functions the strong hand normally does, and vice versa) has benefits for the strong hand performing its normal functions. So there may be benefits even if it all SEEMS to be for nothing.Good idea, although might be "low probability training". Where using limited time for training might be better used for something more likely, and usually under-developed, like to draw from the usual position with the weak hand, or point shooting in general. Of course if someone had an issue, and was going to be down an arm for awhile, would be a good idea to start practicing that. IMO training something like draw proficiency takes muscle memory, which takes repetition and consistency. You can also train for an unusual scenario, where there isn't enough time or attention to really get proficient at it, just a little bit of info to give options.
Unless the idea is to open the door to dual wielding training, if that is the case, then F-yea, kids love that s#!t.
Seriously? How hard is it to throw an offside holster in your pants when walking around the house drawing a gun occasionally?Good idea, although might be "low probability training".

Do you suggest using carry positions that you can draw from with both hands, or a weak side back up weapon, or something else?
There are no "UNI" locations/positions to draw from using either arm.
IDK if I'm trying to envision or trying not toBut a barrell chest , big boobs , or a Dunlop can make that a total non starter .)
Eddie Eagle would have a cow watching me shoot, draw or even think left handed.
Good advice though.

Ridiculous.Yes there are ! Not necessarily as easily with both , and they will have inherent trade offs , but reasonably accessible to either hand is certainly possible .
Crossdraw
Strong side belt , but fairly far to the rear at 4:30 or so . Someone with average upper body flexibility can reach behind the back with off hand for a twist draw without too much difficulty .
Ankle holster worn on inside of ankle is equally available to either hand .
( The other implied possibility of strong side hip at 3:00 , to reach accross with off hand for twist draw is highly variable. Some people can do it with some holsters . But a barrell chest , big boobs , or a Dunlop can make that a total non starter .)
