Shot through a match left handed yesterday. As you can see, there's plenty of room for improvement. :)

I also shot through right handed..had to switch things around between turns but no big deal. Didn't shoot that well right handed, either..maybe distraction, I'm not sure.
Problems I encountered:
I picked up a cheap LH Fobus holster, which held the gun like a vice. Ended up using a mag pouch as a holster.
I kept reverting back to shooting with my right eye from my left shoulder and it slowed me down a lot.
I discovered that when I shoot pistol left handed quickly, my grips sucks and I pull my right index finger into the trigger guard with each shot.
Overall, I'm happy enough. Just need more practice under a little pressure.
I'm going to shoot both hands monthly, I think. I'd try shooting left handed from my right handed set up gear, but that probably won't fly at matches. This is a start towards that, though.
