I like this question, it has many possibilities. I'm by nature a left hander. When I first got into the gun thing. I figured it was a no brainer that I would carry on my left side... well aren't I?
Here's the thing, at times I carry my PT145 strong side (left) in a Don Hume 721OT. For my Ruger P89 I went a little on the cheap side with a DeSantis Insider IWB/OWB. As an OWB this holster leave little to be desired. As an IWB it's a little better. For me it shined when I tried slipping it into the small of my back. The only catch was that it is meant for a righty, but for sob carry it works out to my advantage.
When I go hunting, I carry my Ruger GP100. When I went looking for a holster I found a nice FLETCH from Galco. Problem was that it was for a righty as well. Now, I could have just ordered one for a lefty, but I wanted to give my right side a shot. At first it was a little weird, but after a few hours it felt quite natural. I reaffirmed this by taking my GP100 out to the range and giving her a try. What I found is that I like shooting with my right hand as much as with my left. I find this to be also true with my PT1911. I must be a righty in lefties clothing ;D.
Today I went looking for a holster for my PT1911. Again I found a really nice Galco concealable belt holster, but in right handed only. I figure, I'll give it a shot. For some strange reason, I like carrying the larger guns on my right. Again, when at the range I fired several rounds right handed and loved it.
Also, how many of you have more than one holster for one gun. I myself have two for the PT145 and I just ordered another DeSantis for the sob carry when I want to wear lighter clothing with my PT1911.
Now to order a good belt.
