If it is then that's the most natural way for you to hold the gun (if that's how you naturally point). You can still see out of the sights just fine, and it's actually easier to aim.
Hmm, I see you've found a non-Dalton subject upon which to be full o' crap.

He did do some things to improve workers conditions...and he understood a happy, well paid worker actually produces more.
But the above is kinda false in the sense that unions fought for such things for 50+ years before he tried it out.
Quote:Ford’s move
In 1914, at a time when most workers still lacked a guarantee of eight-hour days, the Ford Motor Co. attracted notice for instituting eight-hour shifts and raising wages in the manner the graphic indicates. (For many Ford workers, the work week remained six days.)
The company’s move -- made a dozen years earlier than the graphic said -- was significant, labor historians say. But they add that it’s worth noting some caveats. For instance, Ford’s " ‘sociological department’ had to inspect a worker’s home to make sure they ‘deserved’ the $5 first," said Ileen A. DeVault, a professor of labor relations, law and history at Cornell University.
In addition, Ford’s policy wasn’t law, so it wasn’t guaranteed to last indefinitely, even for those who qualified for it.
"It was a unilaterally provided benefit at the discretion of the employer and could be yanked away whenever the cost exceeded profits," said Robert Bruno, a professor with the University of Illinois School of Labor and Employment Relations. Companies that operated this way, Bruno said, often revoked these policies when the Great Depression hit.
