Alright, but I have yet to see a game character that’s left handed though

    Here's a couple random ones, outside of the obvious (Link from The Legend of Zelda).

    Some of the character models in Warcraft 3 were left-handed, like the Footman and the Grunt. The weird implication in this is that in the Warcraft universe, left-handed is the default, because while the common Footmen were lefties, the heroic Paladin was right-handed.

    Some of the party members from early Final Fantasy games were left-handed: Leila and Leon from FF2, and Kain and Palom from FF4. Because of the 2D sprites it didn't show very well during battles, but it did affect the way their equipment was arranged in the menus.

    He holds the pistol with his left but holds the shotgun right-handed:

    He probably holds the weapon with stronger kickback with his dominant hand.

    Conclusion: he's right-handed but trained to hold the pistol with his left

    Or he was trained to hold the shotgun with the right (for example because of which side the spent shells come out of)

    As a leftie, shooting rifles in the military was not terribly fun because of the ejection port being on the right. Luckily the rifle was well enough designed that I didn't have any casings grazing my cheek.
