A right hand pistol draw pulls the pistol towards the left. It is hard to draw a pistol and shoot off to the right, you turn your body to make it easier.

Aussie Police don't ride non-standard bikes, as Police are discouraged from firing their pistols "on the run". If a shot is required, offhand is the way to go.
