More on shooting with one hand.
We are two-handed creatures that aren’t afflicted by the curse of the T-Rex. When it comes to shooting, we want to use as much of our body as possible to aim, stabilize, and control the gun. That’s why we shoot with two hands most of the time. In a perfect world, we’d only ever shoot with two hands, but that’s not our reality. Sometimes, you only get one hand, and we have to make that work.
Today, we are going to discuss how to shoot handguns with one hand, specifically a few tips to make it easier. It’s not all that unlikely that you’ll find yourself shooting with a single hand in the real world. The other hand may be occupied by a child, an obstacle, or even an attacker. We should work to prepare for that reality and be ready to engage with one hand when necessary.
One-handed shooting is not easy—in fact, it’s downright difficult. Many people avoid shooting with a single hand to spare their egos. One universal truth you’ll have to face is that your times will increase, your accuracy will decrease, and your overall performance will take a nose dive.
