Goes on the side of the dominant hand.

Never occurred to me that I've never shot any firearm left handed. Wouldn't start with a pistol but I kinda wanna try it now with a rifle lol.

If I shoot anything like I throw left handed tho my curiosity will prolly kill the neighbors cat. Unless it is more than 3ft away, then it's completely safe lol.

I carry a LCP, (subcompact .380). I practice two hand, right hand, left hand. I also always try and shoot a magazine or two with sunglasses on at an indoor range to simulate low light conditions.

It has like a three inch barrel, so it's not the most accurate or easy to aim. I only shoot it at seven yards.

It's nasty to shoot, lot of kick. I call it the Angry Cricket. Trigger pull is heavy as it is a double action with no safety. I carry it with one in the pipe.

Hope I never have to use it, but if I do, I will be as accurate as possible. That's the ethical thing to do as I see it.
