Is Trowa Mixed-Handed?

In the anime, I think Trowa very well could be. What started this question was something I saw on Wikipedia. It listed famous left-handed people. There was a list of fictional characters under it. Trowa came up on it due to his firing bullets with his left arm. I decided to keep an eye out for the sheer heck of it. In turn, I came to the conclusion that he was mix-handed. (Also, I am aware of the term "ambidextrous", but that applies to having the same strength and dexterity in both hands.)
