Ha, it's so funny you should talk about this cuz I had often wondered the same thing. He always seemed rather like a leftie to me (all creative and that), but, like you, I've watched and never been able to catch him writing with other than his right hand. (In person too, so it's not like he's trying to be right-handed for the camera or anything.)
However ... eerie coincidence, I have a friend who was born in Ireland (not exactly the other side of the world from Manchester) just five days before David, and he's a leftie who learned to write with his right hand. In fact, his right-handed writing is better than his left-handed writing. But in most other things he is left-handed. (Could there be an astrological connection perhaps??)
Ah, but have you seen "Felony"? (It's not as bad as all the reviews say--mainly saved by David's performance and my already-rock-bottom expectations.) There's a scene where he shoots (an inordinate number of bullets) left-handed while driving.
David was only born in Manchester, as far as I know he didnt spend more than his first 3 months there, and spent a lot of his early 20s around here... (Leamington Spa selling books, Stratford while acting, and so on)...
There's such a yawning gulf between the midlands and Manchester, that you'd know if he was Mancunian...he'd be... different.
Just sayin', it's not such a yawning gulf as between, say, Manchester and here. Anyway, I was talking strictly in terms of astrology (if you believe in that stuff), which would have to do with where he was born, not where he was raised.
Hee, i know. I'm from 'there' - hence i'm possibly more aware of the differences between Manchester and the midlands than the average Brit would be. Or the average Yank for that matter. lol

Leftie?

He shoots left handed in Hornblower too...
Re: Guns
Anyhow *chuckle*, I didn't notice that in Hornblower. Must have another look!
