"And I do all my practice point shooting exclusively singled handed, strong and weak side. No Weaver stance for me"

Weaver stance is what they taught us in the military. IMO, not the best stance. The best stance is to shoot one handed. Go to a pistol competition and you will find that most shooters are shooting one handed with the other hand either in their pocket or on their belt loop. Good idea to practice shooting weakside though.

What you describe is called conventional pistol or more commonly, “bullseye” and is hte classic target shooting discipline of precision shooting at 25 to 50 yards.

All combat disciplines emphasize multiple shots from dynamic positions and tactical scenarios (some more realistic than others).

No combat instructor today would teach one handed combat shooting with one hand as your PRIMARY method.

Shoot with two hands if at all possible-when the adrenaline reaches your major muscles, you have tremendous strength, but you lose fine motor skills as well (trembling).

Many folks who post on this forum do not have real life experience, so as an NRA Rifle and Pistol Instructor, well trained in CQC and modern pistol craft technique, as well as a combat vet, get professional training and practice, shoot (IDPA) matches for stress and tactics and be aware...
