I must admit that I don't do this often enough.

Weak hand training is always a good idea. There’s no guarantee that when the fecal remnant impinges the rotary cooling device that you won’t be injured or impaired already. Train to live.

I routinely shoot a magazine or two weak-hand only (unsupported) during a session, and I change magazines using only my weak hand.
I will also shoot a magazine with my glasses off (using only clear safety glasses), just to remind myself what it will be like when there's time to grab a weapon or my glasses, but not both.
Doesn’t sound too hard.
I started life as a lefty; my first grade teacher fixed me (rubber bands on my fingers so I couldn’t write left handed).
I hold a fishing rod like a lefty, but pretty much everything else is like a righty.
I need to try shooting as a lefty.
If you have to shoot on the move while driving, having a trained left would be invaluable. But that would most likely be in pursuit of a fleeing individual. That’s a no-no in most places!
Don’t be like Vendome.
When practicing this last year on my M1A, I grabbed the trigger and stock the same as I would right handed.
pulled the trigger and my thumb was forced backward. Could have broken it.
Was careful for the next 3 mags, ensuring each time my thumb was forward and parallel to trigger finger.
This is not an issue on bolt action or AR.
I’m right handed. I’ve never shot a pistol with my left hand.
Rifles? All the time. The vision in my right eye is poor so I’m very accurate by shooting left handed.
After my first IDPA match, I made it part of every range session. Both hands, right hand, left hand ... I use the one-handed shooting skills in matches shooting around barriers. Other shooters contort themselves to get both arms past the barrier, exposing too much of themselves and risking a cover call. I switch to one-handed ... much easier, and just as accurate. For me, anyway.
Dyslexics will be happy to note there is no benefit to shooting your hand off...
I am left handed. After getting tennis elbow, I learned to shoot right handed. Now I can shoot with either hand and shoot the same number of rounds with each hand when I go to the range. Accuracy is the same with either hand.
Malfunction clearances and emergency reload drills should also be practiced with support side and one-handed...
Very awkward at first and then suddenly the brain flips and it becomes much easier and more automatic...
Always a chance of injury to firing side hand, leaving you with support hand only...You CAN do it...
Didn’t do it much until I started shooting Double Duelist in SASS.
I’ve never tried it.
I’m nearly blind in my left eye. Could be interesting.

I used to shoot some matches that required a session of weak hand shooting. Since I am a somewhat ambidextrous switch hitter, it wasn’t all that hard for me, and several times was the margin of victory. The only thing that is a little unnatural is lining up with the dominant eye if you are the norm rt hand rt dominant eye.
