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.
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.
Practice weak hand as well......

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

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.
To close, can’t get a good shot, shoot their nuts off.
I only have 1 strong arm, but hand is weak from 4 long yrs of thumb surgery rehab, need both hands to steady. 72 has lots of issues that don’t allow for a 1 hand shot.
When I first learned almost 50 years ago with a Ruger Single Six .22, I always shot one handed, and did practice some left handed. I got good enough left handed I could hit a Quaker state oil can every shot at about 25 yards. I used the pistol night lighting rabbits, any time one would run. These days I’d probably be doing good to hit the side of the barn left handed...although it’s a little like falling off a bicycle, you never forget how. 1st time I tried out my Taurus 9mm I put the first 6 shots inside a 3 inch circle, 2 handed. Hadn’t shot anything but a small .22 pistol in 20 years. Later a few single handed shots were about a 5 inch group. Not as good as I once was, and I definitely can’t hit a matchbook cover every time any more. Probably have trouble hitting the old oil can every shot.
Night lighting is legal in Texas, on foot with rim fire or shotgun. Since .22 is quieter, that’s what we used, .22 rifle. Usually rabbits will freeze if you hit them with a spot light, it blinds them. When one would run, we’d grab the pistol and fire. 8 shots that winter, 7 kills. 8th one grazed the back of its neck. Got it later when it stopped running. My uncle same thing, 7 out of 8, his 8th missed entirely.
Our rule was you can’t go in the woods with it until you can hit a matchbook cover 10 shots out of 10. We both could do it. Ihunted squirrels with the .22 pistol too, usually single handed shots. My father had a similar rule when he taught me to shoot as a 5 year old kid with a Remintgton 512 .22 single shot rifle, you can’t go in the woods and hunt till you can hit a .22 cartridge box 10 shots in a row. He’d hand me 10 bullets and that was all I got, after that it was just target practice. I went in the woods with a .410 a few weeks before I turned 9. And when we got home it was my job to clean and oil everything we took. Guns and fishing reels, whichever.
I didn’t get into 2 handed shooting until I saw it used in movies and decided to do some checking. Been working with both ever since. I still usually shoot the .22 single handed.
One-handed pistol firing. Back to the future. ;)
Yep. Just rip the blouse off, pull the big, honkin’ pistol (as seen in photos) from that bra holster with one hand and let him have it. ;)
