Switching the hand you hold your weapons in CS:GO is not complicated, but the option for it does not seem to exist in the game settings menu of CS:GO. Here’s what you need to know, including whether you may switch hands in CS2 or not.
How to Move Weapon in CS:GO to Left or Right Hand
It is not possible to switch hands in CS2 right now. There is much speculations on the reason behind this, but Valve hasn’t made any official statements.

You can also bind a key to make it possible to switch hands at will with a press of a button:
bind L “toggle cl_righthand 0 1”

To determine which eye is dominant in your case, you may perform a simple and quick test:
Knowing which eye is dominant can be helpful in many activities, including shooting. Now, as an ambidextrous person, I opted to hold the weapon in my left hand in CS:GO because my right eye is the dominant one. It’s perhaps a placebo effect, but I find it easier to have the right side of my screen clear of useless stuff.
