They are trying to make the ambidextrous people choose a side, dammit
.
The truly ambidextrous are even rarer than leftys and as one of them I know how terribly confusing the world can sometimes be. It's like: "Why wasn't the world made so you can do everything with either hand, like God made me?" Then you run into all kinds of problems, because in reality you do have to get used to using one hand or another. You take organic chemistry and then biochemistry and learn how most of the molecules in your body are biased in terms of handedness (chirality).
Let's not forget that for a long time it was standard educational practice in this country to try and make people who were left handed into right handed people. Left-handedness is referred to as Sinistral (sinister, devilish) as opposed to Right-handedness, which is Dextral. My father was one of the people who the public schools tried to whack and hit with rulers to make them right handed and it doesn't work for people who are really truly dominantly handed: the concerted effort to do so actually makes them tremendously self-conscious socially and dyslexic, but it doesn't change the way they use their hands, it just adds another layer of garbage on top of things. To this day my father confuses left and right turns in directions because he's waiting for someone to whack him on the hand with a ruler, but he can draw anything upside down and backward as well as right side up, as long as nobody mentions left or right. The instant you do that, he panics and it all falls apart, and it is because his early schoolteachers tried to beat right handedness into him. So don't try to force it: find a tool that suits your handedness if you have one.
By the way one of the reasons he likes my SR9 is because he doesn't have to fumble for the controls, with the exception of the slide stop. The first time he held the gun he appreciated having the mag. release and safety on both sides of the gun.
I hold a gun equally well with both hands, I throw and catch equally well with both hands, I usually write lefty but can write well with the other hand, and with just a little concentration I can switch my eye dominance as well. Something's wrong.
Of course, I prefer to think that I am correct and built the right way and the rest of you "handed" people are the weirdos.
