I like JImN's red dot scope answer.
Other than that, I've heard of people who are left eye dominant but right handed having to lean their head further over, so as to align their left eye with the sights…

I’ve been thinking about buying a SW99 for a while now.. What’s yours chambered for?
On February 8, 2010 Cory Newsome said: I can only hope that some vacation or road trip can bring me that way. My job is very stationary. I’d love to shoot some outdoor shotgun pigeons with you though.
I knew the chance of us meeting was a long shot, but since you and I frequented the same gun stores and complained about the same town (Oak Park), I thought there might be a chance that we had crossed paths.
On February 6, 2010 LearnAboutGuns said: I can’t say I remember seeing you based on that description, but who knows…. If you ever saw me, I was usually on the shotgun/rifle range, since I would often bring my shotguns and pistols to Maxon. I bought two XD pistols from Maxon – a 3” XD40 and a 5” XD40.
Yeah, too bad we didn’t meet while I lived in the Chicago area. But if you’re ever in the Quad Cities area (about 160 miles west of Chicago, near the IA border) let me know and we’ll have to go shooting. There are some very nice ranges out here, and I can bring guests.
On February 5, 2010 Cory Newsome said: It’s just too bad for me that you moved to Iowa. I would have loved to have met you personally. I recommend learnaboutguns.com to everyone I know. I tell them that the author is a guy from my region. Apparently, we lived a lot closer than that. I’ll tell them that Eric is a guy from my neighborhood from now on.
I know it’s a long shot, (LOL) but do you recall ever seeing a short, white guy about 21-23 years old, with long, sandy-blond hair, carrying a black range bag with ”HC” on it? I almost exclusively wore normal glasses with earplugs instead of muffs.
And lastly, did you buy your XD from Maxon? They stock a lot of them!
On February 4, 2010 LearnAboutGuns said: Yep, I’ve been to Maxon many times, and bought a few guns there. We may very well have seen each other there 
On February 4, 2010 Cory Newsome said: So young, such a mild cartridge, and yet so brave. That kid must have some serious courage. I applaud his actions. This just goes to show that everyone can defend themselves. On a side note, Eric, did you ever visit Maxon Shooter Supply when you lived in Illinois? We may have met one another and not known it.
