I have utilized this method effectively in a few IDPA scenarios. Like someone stated previously, weak-handed shooting is somewhat easier when holding the gun at a slight cant. If you try to shoot weak handed around a barricade, making that angle more extreme gives me a more stable platform.

I will say however, that even though my wrist was turned, the gun was still at eye level and I was able to use the sights effectively. I did not have the gun over my head pointing downward as I have seen it depicted in the past.

Default Gangsta sights

Someone dummied up an advertisement for gangsta style sights for your handgun, and had a photoshopped picture of a Glock with a front and rear sight mounted on the right side of the slide. What is scary is the several hundred people who did not realize it was a gag and tried to order sets of the sights for installation on their handguns.

Even CCW instructors approve of gangster style shooting
its a long video, but the instructor explains why it's natural

if it works for you, then do it, don't criticize

Check all the posts on the 2nd page of this thread, and you'll see that one of them has this spoof ad.
