You'll more likely get a response to your query if you take the time to type a coherent sentence, using real words.

Wow! I didn't realize this was english class. I'll try to limit the shorthand. Oh yea if you didn't want to respond to the question you should've just not posted at all.

Always shoot with both eyes open. Took a long time to learn to just keep the eyes open but it is far more effective.

I believe both eyes open is best. That said, I can't shoot with both eyes open. I'm a righty but left eye dominant. I've started wearing a patch on my left eye around the house to see if I can train my right eye to be dominant.

Cross dominance is a non issue. I'm some form of it. People make it into more than it is.

I use both eyes open for pistol, irons, dots, acogs etc etc etc.

You should use both eyes open. You cut your FOV off by closing one eye, you also will notice your eye start to twitch after a long period of keeping it shut.

Dustin:

I'm a righty but left eye dominant as well. Fortunately the dominance is fairly mild. I can shoot left handed with irons to distance. I can shoot right handed with irons out to 100-150 yards. With a red dot, I'm just as good/equally bad left handed or right handed.

Since you decided to blow off the advice from a senior member, I'll pass it on. If you don't want to type coherent sentence that make us believe you're not some kid in the basement, then don't post the question.

Please do. We're not a bunch of kids who want to read current texting shorthand for English.

I am unable to directly answer the original poster's question, as I do not use a magnifier with a red dot collimating optic. However, I do shoot with both eyes open when using my Leupold VX-R 1.25-4. With the scope dialed down (1.25x) there is either no problem with both eyes open, or a very de minimis problem. When the scope is dialed up to 4x, there is somewhat more of an issue, but I still do it. The advantages of greater peripheral awareness outweigh the slight cognitive dissonance of reconciling 4x for one eye and 1x for the other.

OP, this isn't English class, but clarity of language enhances clarity of thought, which enhances clarity of training.

I've found that adjusting myself to M4c works a lot better than adjusting M4c to me.
