Shove the barrel into their belly.

I have always made a point of shooting at least one mag in each strong and support hand, left and right, each time I go to the range. As a result, I find it easy and am accurate from either.

One of my range trainers shoots one handed with each hand. Said he had a associate who based on positioning had to shoot with the opposite hand once and based on that experience he trains that way.

Yep, been practicing consistently for decades using both hands, as well as clearing malfunctions reloads etc with one hand/off hand

Good article. Thanks for posting. I got such a KICK yesterday mid-morning (Easter Sunday!) when I could hear lots of gunfire from the local gun range, not too far from my farm.

East Sunday Plans? Church. Range Time. Ham Dinner. I LOVE where I live! :)

“You must dig deep in to your psyche and ask yourself why you’re carrying a gun. Is it because you’re supposed to, or do you really understand the dark ether that is the underside of human society? Once you embrace that, your mindset will be different.”

I used to have qualms about having to shoot someone that was attacking me or mine - and I have Army training!

But, watching the Socialist Democrats doing everything in their power to harm America as a whole has set my mind right. Thanks, Socialists!

Jerks.

The need for single-handed shooting is more likely than one may think:
-while fighting with an attacker
-for law enforcement being dragged after a vehicle stop
-while holding a steering wheel; there were several drivers through recent Democrat riots holding a handgun in one hand
-while keeping pressure on an injury on yourself or others
-while holding a radio or cell phone that you don't have time to drop
-while holding a door, either to keep it closed or to keep it open for people fleeing a shooter

"SHOOTING TO LIVE With The One-Hand Gun" is an older book but it's valuable and it's a quick read.

I’ve been recommending Masaad Ayoob’s In The Gravest Extreme for more than 25 years precisely because it addresses those mindset issues you bring up.

Shawn Ryan former Navy SEAL has a great video on YouTube where he shows a couple of women how to draw and shoot at bad breath distance. Its a great exercise I have watched numerous times and practiced dry firing at home.

I’m a big fan of that guy. Vigilance Elite is a great YouTube channel.

Yes Shawn Ryan is the bomb. I have watched that video where he shows Keanu Reaves how to go through a door with an AR about 20 times. I saw him showing the same technique to some MMA or boxing champ the other day. Connor McGregor or somebody like that. I would love to be able to afford some hand gun training with him.

Some of Gravest is a little out of date, but the most worthwhile parts are timeless. His book Deadly Force: Understanding Your Right to Self Defense is also worthwhile. Along with others, but those two at the top of the list.

.Thank You for Posting this.

(((PING)))

I saw a show on one of the Outdoor Channels and the whole show was about 1 handed shooting, controlling Your Weapon and it included clearing a Misfire, Dropping an Empty Magazine*and replacing it including if the Slide Lock fails to leave the Slide locked open to strip the 1st Round from the fresh Magazine with the Slide Lock Release not functioning for whatever reason. Chambering a Round 1 Handed.

* IIRC Glock Magazines have to be removed from the Pistol, they don’t “Drop” out freely. Done so MT Magazines don’t get lost in Combat.
