Agree with the others, if you're left-eyed as well as left-handed, then shooting left-handed is practically a must.
I don't agree that pistols with thumb safeties can be operated left-handed without suffering a deficit. I chose Glocks over 1911's because of the lack of a thumb safety (among other reasons), although I didn't choose any ambi-release models.
I also think that it's more important for a lefty to learn to shoot right-handed than for righties to shoot southpaw. I tried it right-handed yesterday in a class, and it was UG-LEE! But I passed, so what the heck.
