That Hickock45 fellow is right handed and left eye dominant, which is why his stance is unorthodox, but effective nonetheless. Regardless if you aim with both eyes the only thing you want in focus is the front site. When you concentrate on that the target will be blurry, however you won't have double vision.

Yea I will try some off hand shooting, but I am not sure I want to do that with this pistol. Maybe an eye patch to force my brain to use the right eye when shooting righty?

Could try the awkward pistol sight in front of dominant eye while holding righty, we shall see.

No. Train yourself to shoot with both eyes open. All you're doing is prolonging the issue.

Why?

I shot long guns just fine lefty, but almost no pistol is setup lefty and I don't trust my left hand with pistol shooting.

I'll try shifting gun over just slightly so it lines up with my left eye. Seems simple enough.

Always shoot with both eyes open. But if ur 100% sure of the dominant eye, that is the one you are sighting with. It takes alot of training.. but well worth it to keep both eyes open.

LTXtech.com IS my drug...

I'll give it a shot but its tough countering like 15 years of shooting with an eye closed

You don't have to. I'm merely saying form a self-defense POV, which you should also train shooting with each hand individually. If not interested in that then no reason to do anything other than shoot how you want.
