Yes and no. Its speed and remedial actions that still need lots of practice in my case. I can hit a 15 yrd target if i focus enough.

Yes. I can shoot almost as well as my dominant side but I am slower and get fatigued faster.
I can shoot an MSAR very well right handed  Being a lefty hurts too much when shooting an MSAR with a right hand bolt. I could tilt my head back some but that was awkward for me.
I can reload an AR faster right handed as well unless it has ambi features for the lefties. |

I can do it, but it's a rather slow and awkward affair.

Yes, I've been working to improve that side on every range trip. I'm cross eye dominant so I'm trying to bring my weak side up to speed to see what I can do with it.

I'm left handed but normally shoot right handed.
I can switch to left, but have to sight right eyed, so that makes it a bit weird. Can still hit a paper plate size target at any reasonable range with either hand. Just the time to acquire the target will suffer. |

I'm confident with a pistol or rifle in either hand.

I am very left handed. Not sure I would trust myself to safely handle a firearm with my right hand at the trigger.

I am very confident I can shoot with my left hand. I am not at all confident I can hit anything.

Getting better. First time I tried to shoot from my off shoulder I really struggled. I am now comfortable and can switch between right and left shoulder with ease. Still working on reducing my right eye dominance. I almost have to close my right eye to get the left eye to focus. |

I'm right handed but left eye dominant, so I shoot poorly either way with iron sights. Using a scope and shooting right handed is the only thing I can get by with.

No i need to start practicing again. from static positions i'm fine but as others have said it's things like movement and reloads that really screw me up.

I can reload and move with the AR without ambi features, but again I suck with the handgun.

I even qualify at work support hand. Funny how that works my dad always told me I should practice off hand growing up so I did a little but I didn't take it seriously until I tore a tricep. Unlike you I switched back and got out of practice when I healed up! Bad of me |

I can't control the recoil as well with the left hand. That was with revolvers, I never tried it with a semi auto.

Yes I lose a bit of speed with my non dominate hand shooting though.

I'm pretty good with my left. I make sure to do all kinds of common tasks with it.
I force quasi-ambidextrousness on myself out of a fear that something will happen to my right again. |
