You’re training your weak eye just as well as wearing those stupid one eye blacked out glasses, only it’s a lot quicker to open your dominant eye than to take off your glasses.

For rifle shooting, I have no issue using my non-dominant eye.
For pistol shooting, I don’t rotate my head, and I don’t recommend that to my students. The reason is you lose situational awareness on your dominant eye side WRT field of view. Instead, with your normal pistol grip, you can shift your extended hands left (for left-eye dominant folks) by ~2 inches. This still provides adequate recoil management.
For one-handed pistol shooting with your dominant hand, I recommend rotating the firearm about 10 degrees into your dominant eye’s line of sight. This still enables good situational awareness and recoil management and doesn’t alter short/medium range point of aim/impact. Just don’t go gangsa-style and hold it at 90 degrees!
