I play golf with a guy who is righthanded and plays right-handed. Except he putts left-handed. I asked him why and he said he didn't know, just that he always has.

I posted the survey after again seeing TIKI's creative side. It's said the most left handed are those with imagination, creativity, artistic, musical talents, just as a few examples.

I have so many people that I have asked this question, to find it very true.

All you horny toads, such dirty dirty!

A fixed breach like yours will kick more than a semi auto.

Clearly, you're right handed.

They do tend to be a little slow....

Primarily right handed but due to my work and doing a lot of defensive pistol shooting practice I got decent using my left hand.

Working as a welder I started getting Carpal so I learned how to do a lot with my left hand. I always welded and cut better with my dominate hand, but for cleaning up I got good lefty. (using a file, chipping hammer, regular hammer, wire brush and hand held small grinders, screwdrivers)

That did the job and I avoided getting Carpal and kept a good production speed!

Both, Write with the left hand. Hold a rifle on the left side, handgun on the right. Throw a ball and bat right handed. Shoot a Rickles (hockey puck) left handed. Drive a car in the left seat.

Yes, but a 20 is softer shooting than a 12, and since it has a trigger dedicated to each barrel I think it is likely more reliable under stress than a semi.

Right handed with practically everything.

Used to be ambidextrous with nunchucks. Probably still am, though I haven't used them in decades. Took about 3 months to get good. Learned to do things over the next several years that I've not seen anyone else even attempt.

I write with my left hand but I'm right handed for everything else.

I never specified gauge when I mentioned a Auto. I know a older than me fellow that has a 4.10 auto as that is about all he can handle well.

Many years back my father (a Undertaker) buried a fellow that got hit by a 4.10 at close range. Quite a lot of damaged done.

FWIW I realize that 4.10 is not a gauge but a caliber!

I never had a .410 and I don't know anybody who ever did, but drawing on memories from 60 years ago, can't you shoot a .44 mag cartridge in a .410 shotgun . . . ?

I sure as shit would not. If (big if) it chambered and that depend on the gun the pressure a .44Mag works on you have a grenade!

PS that goes for 45LC in a conventional shot gun. Those ugly pistol things will shoot a 45.
