Default Help-right handed, left eye dominate

I am 51 years old, so switching and learning how to shoot handgun left handed is NOT going to happen.

So how can I help improve accuracy. I find I shoot to the left. I believe that this is due to slightly holding in my right hand and the pistol being more parellel with my right arm, rather than perpendicular to my body and this straight away towards the target. Thus resulting in hitting consistently to the left.

A co-worker and friend also has the exact same problem. He too is right handed and left eye dominate. Also consistently shoots left of target.

Is there some little technique we can try to hold, to correct this situation, or should we adjust the sites to allow our hold to get the bullets to hit the target?

I have heard to slightly tilt (cant) the pistol to the left a few degrees (not "gangsta style sideways). And this helps shift the sites to better align to the left eye.

What say you marksmen (and women)?
