Larry Vickers and his buddy Dave Royer were out testing a firearm myths whether dual-wielding versus using sight alignment with a single pistol is better.
Seen all the time in the movies Dave and Larry are out to show you what really happens when you fire two pistols at the same time.
Stationary Drill
They start the test with stationary shooting at multiple targets. (5 targets) Dual shooting (using H&K .45 Compact and a custom Colt 1911) was going from inside targets to outside targets. Single pistol shooting went from left to right. The result for dual shooting was at 2.8 seconds and 3.73 seconds for single pistol. Dual shooting was faster but not as accurate as with single pistol. However, for this test single pistol shooting with good sight alignment wins the accuracy test.
Mobile Drill
Starts out at a walk towards the target from 30 yards out and at the sound of a buzzer. Shooter engages the target while still moving forward. Dual pistols will be alternate shots between left and right. Single pistol lay down some lead rapidly. The verdict single pistol wins with accuracy and speed on this drill. See the footage of dual wield pistols.
There does come that awkward moment when you’re holding two empty guns with no way to reload. Perhaps we should practice throwing them at the enemy like the old Superman flicks.
Thank you .now I know what to do with my air gun. Practice point shooting and weak hand shooting.
If this isn't the crummiest gun site on the web, it's not far from it. That so many Freeprs are slavishly devoted to it baffles me.
